How Many Gadgets Power Your Workday?

Remember when one device was enough? Yeah, those days are gone.

Now, the average office worker juggles three devices to get through the day. A laptop, a tablet, headphones—maybe even something low-tech like a Kindle. Regardless, it’s like carrying around a mini electronics store.

All that gear adds up. On average, that’s NINE extra pounds in your bag—basically, the weight of an air fryer.

But the real problem? The mental overload.

Every device dings buzzes, and pings with notifications, each one demanding your attention. It’s like a never-ending game of digital whack-a-mole.

So, how do you lighten the load?

?? Consolidate your tech. Hybrid devices, like foldable phones and 2-in-1 laptops, can replace multiple gadgets. Less to carry, fewer cables, more sanity.

?? Upgrade to smarter software. Windows 11 is built to streamline multitasking, so you don’t need a separate device for every little task. A more integrated experience = fewer distractions.

At the end of the day, more devices don’t always mean more productivity—sometimes, they just mean more headaches.
