The Multitasking Myth

Do you think you are a "multitasker"? Many of us might even be very proud to be one.But the truth is, our brains aren't wired for constant context-switching. In fact, studies show it takes an average of 15 minutes to fully refocus after switching tasks. Each pivot is like a mini-reset, eating away at our focus and energy. It's the cognitive equivalent of repeatedly stopping and restarting your car in heavy traffic - inefficient and draining.

Think about it: If you switch tasks just 4 times in a day, that's a full hour lost to refocusing!

And you know what? When your remote engineer is building your product, they need this focus especially! The more time they are blocked with meetings, texting, question answering... they are forced to leave their flow and jump around the cognitive landscape.

At Illumi, our ultimate mission is to reduce the time switching between apps, copy-pasting, and clicking. The time saved? It's yours to use as you wish - do more work (if you like) or go enjoy life with your loved ones!

How can we create environments that maximize focused work time for our technical teams? We believe we have the answer.
