Work Devices
It feels like we have a gadget for everything these days, right?
The average office worker now carries around three devices to get through the day. Think laptops, tablets, headphones… and even multiple phones.
Technology keeps teams connected and helps us work smarter, but there’s a downside: Managing so many devices can become overwhelming.
What happens whenever we add a new device to our daily work routine? There’s another thing to charge, another thing to carry, and one more item to keep track of.
Carrying all this tech adds an average of 9 lbs of extra weight. That’s like carrying an air fryer to work every day!
Another issue is the mental load. Many professionals say they feel bogged down by the notifications they receive across all their devices. It’s common to receive dozens of notifications daily, and the constant flow of alerts can distract you.
One way to avoid gadget overload is to try out devices that handle many functions, such as foldable phones or hybrid laptops. This way, one device could do the same thing two or three of your other devices are doing.
Another great strategy is to upgrade to a smarter system, like Windows 11.
Windows 11 makes it easier to switch between tasks, reducing the need for extra devices. With a smoother, more integrated experience, your team might not feel they need as many gadgets to stay productive.
