Did you know that the average office worker carries at least 3 devices just to get through the work day? Laptops, work phone, personal phone, headphones, tablet. It is a lot!

Technology is great; it helps to keep teams connected, helps us to work smarter but it can also be overwhelming. Adding new devices to your work routine, also adds to your workload. Charging multiple devices, another thing to carry around, another thing you have to keep track of. Plus, it adds up! Carrying all this extra tech around is akin to carrying an air fryer to work everyday (around 4.1 kg to be precise)!

The physical weight is one thing but what about the mental weight. Many professionals say that they feel bogged down by the many notifications that they get across all of their devices. This constant flow of others demanding your attention can be a distraction and take a toll on your mental health.

So how do you get around gadget overload?

One way you can alleviate some of the burden is to try out devices that handle many functions like foldable phones or hybrid laptops. This way 1 device can do the job of two or maybe even three of the extra devices you have.

A second idea is to upgrade to a smarter system such as Windows 11.

Windows 11 makes it super easy to switch between tasks thus reducing the need for multiple devices. With a smoother and more integrated experience your team may not feel like they need extra gadget to stay productive. Another great thing about Windows 11 is that you customise the notifications you get meaning that if you need a break you can be on do not disturb mode or focus mode.
