With technology advancing so rapidly, it feels like there’s a device for everything, doesn’t it?
On average, office workers now carry around about three devices to get through the day—laptops, tablets, headphones, and sometimes even multiple phones.
While these tools help us stay connected and work more efficiently, they can also get overwhelming.
Every new device means another thing to charge, carry, and keep track of. And all that extra gear? It adds up—literally. The average load of work-related tech weighs around 9 pounds. That’s like lugging an air fryer to the office every day!
Beyond the physical burden, there’s also the mental strain. Many professionals report feeling bogged down by the notifications from multiple devices. It’s common for an office worker to get dozens of notifications every day, and the constant bombardment of alerts can be a distraction.
So, how can you lighten the load without sacrificing productivity?
One solution is consolidating your tech. Devices that serve multiple purposes, like foldable phones or hybrid laptops, can replace two or three separate gadgets. Not only does this reduce the number of devices you carry, but it can also help declutter your workspace and streamline your workflow.
Another helpful strategy is to upgrade to a more streamlined system, like Windows 11.
Windows 11, for example is designed to enhance productivity with features that allow for better multitasking and organization. A more integrated system means a smoother workflow, meaning your team might not feel they need as many devices to stay productive.
