MineTime Insight: Visualizing Meeting Habits to Promote Informed Scheduling Decisions
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
|September 20, 2019
Summary
MineTime Insight helps professionals understand meeting time usage. This visual analytics tool aids better scheduling decisions by revealing personal work habits.
Area of Science:
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Personal Visual Analytics
- Business Productivity
Background:
- Limited research exists on retrospective analysis of meeting time.
- Traditional calendars lack actionable statistics for habit improvement.
- Reflection-oriented design can foster better work practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce MineTime Insight, a tool for exploring personal calendar data.
- To improve short-term and long-term scheduling decisions.
- To support users, not necessarily visualization experts, in analyzing their time.
Main Methods:
- Development of MineTime Insight, a multi-view coordinated visualization tool.
- Application of the tool to an executive manager's calendar data.
- Conducting an informal user study and a field study.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated the tool's potential in analyzing executive meeting schedules.
- Gathered feedback through user and field studies.
- Visual representations were found easy to understand.
Conclusions:
- MineTime Insight aids in understanding personal meeting time allocation.
- The tool shows promise in helping users modify scheduling habits.
- Visual analytics can effectively support personal productivity improvements.

Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...

A probability histogram is a visual representation of a probability distribution. Similar a typical histogram, the probability histogram consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. It has both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis is labeled with what the data represents. The vertical axis is labeled with probability. Each rectangular bar in the histogram is 1 unit wide, which suggests that the area under each bar equals the probability, P(x), where x is 1, 2, 3, and so on.

6.9K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Positive reinforcement is a powerful method for teaching new behaviors to both animals and humans. B.F. Skinner demonstrated this with his experiments using rats in a Skinner box. When a rat pressed a lever, it received a food pellet. This immediate reward encouraged the rat to repeat the behavior. This method, where a reward follows every instance of the behavior, is known as continuous reinforcement. It is highly effective for establishing new behaviors quickly.
