We’ve been blessed with powerful new tools at work, but fooled into using them in the wrong way. This is a campaign to put a stop to this and put you first at work. You’ve been cheated out of your time and wellbeing at work. It’s because your productivity apps were never designed to work together. They were each designed to solve one individual problem well, without consideration for the bigger picture. ‍ The result: pings from your colleagues, back-to-back video calls, endless emails, it all adds up. 59 minutes, in fact—that’s how much time is stolen from you in a typical day just trying to find things trapped within different work tools. You’ve replaced your commute with mindless busywork. The team behind Language.work conducted research with researchers from Cornell University and the findings reveal how productivity tools are killing productivity: tech is stealing time, trapping knowledge, and killing focus. ‍ We spend 59 minutes per day just trying to find things trapped within apps. Six in ten of us find it difficult to keep track of what's happening across our various work apps. And nearly half (43%) of us report spending too much time switching between different online tools. It all adds up to a burnout crisis—89% of us say work life is getting worse. ‍ Work isn’t working. There must be another way.
