Context Switching

The process of stopping one task and starting another, often resulting in lost productivity and mental fatigue.

Research shows it can take over 20 minutes to regain focus after an interruption. Constant toggling between email, chat, and project management tools drains cognitive resources. Elani reduces context switching by aggregating tasks and insights into a single view, allowing you to process information without constantly changing apps.
