According to Gerald Weinberg, PhD in
Communication Sciences, multitasking has a
negative effect on productivity. Each extra app
and activity you switch between eats up 20% to
80% of your overall productivity because your
attention gets scattered across the activites.
For example, if you only had one activity, you’d execute it with 100% capacity. But if there
were two, instead of using 50% of your capacity on each, you’d end up reaching only 40%.
That happens because while you do one task your brain keeps a residue attention on the other.
And it gets worse the more activities you keep in parallel.

Company size
43% of workplace distractions
comes from activities like calls
with co-workers.
Team size
Increasing team sizes may hurt
productivity because of the
the communication overhead.
Social media usage
13% of the total productivity is
lost on social media, just
checking in 10 times for 5
minutes a day.
You don't even have to multitask to be affected by context switching. If you're
focused on completing one task, but in order to do so, have to switch
between a set of tools, the same effect happens.
Drag can help you with that by consolidating your workspace in the single
tool you already love, your Gmail.
