4 hours a week. 10% of your team’s time. Gone.
That’s what the average knowledge worker loses every single week—just by switching between apps.
In a Harvard Business Review study of 137 employees across three Fortune 500 companies, researchers discovered that workers toggled between applications 1,200 times per day. The result? Lost time, fractured focus, and elevated stress.
This isn’t just an annoyance—it’s a productivity killer.
Every time your team jumps between Slack, email, a project management tool, and a spreadsheet, their brain has to recalibrate. That’s called context switching, and it’s not just inefficient—it’s exhausting. It spikes cortisol, slows people down, and makes it harder to get deep work done.
In an era of digital overwhelm, this hidden tax is hurting team efficiency, performance, and well-being.
Missed deadlines and follow-ups
Disjointed communication across platforms
Low adoption of project management tools
The dreaded “Did we ever assign that?” moments
Most tools require you to adopt their process—and worse, to leave the place where you’re already doing the work. That disconnect creates friction. The more platforms your team has to bounce between, the more time they lose.
Let’s face it: adding “just one more tool” doesn’t solve the problem. It creates a new one.
