If you are a Mac user there are a world of cool tools available to help your workflow. One of the tools I use is dashalytics. This allows me to place multiple windows in my dashboard which track my websites. I have one for my most frequented sites but I could just use one to save screen space.

dashalytics brings in basic information about your traffic from Google Analytics. You are able to look at traffic stats from 1 day to 2 years. It also gives you additional information although it seems lately Google has been messing with the data feed/api so you might not get all the titles etc you are after (sort it out Google).

If you like watching traffic info but don't have time to always load up GA, then this should be useful for you.
