Hi there,
How many different collaboration tools do you have open right now?
Slack, Confluence, email, Asana, text messages… the list goes on.
Do you ever wonder…
Why do we use all of these tools?
Do we even need them all?
If this sounds familiar, then today’s supercharge is for you.
⚡ Supercharge of the Week
Remote Octopus recommends clearly and collaboratively mapping out your team tools and their use cases with a Tools Map.
This mapping process can double as a light audit to confirm if your team needs every tool you’re currently using.
“A new study shows that, on average, each computer in every office around the world has about $259 of unnecessary, unwanted or unused software on it.”
All of this task switching between tools can leave us feeling less satisfied with our work and more emotionally drained.
We previously wrote about the negative impact of these constant tool notifications on productivity. Did you know that 23 minutes is the average time it takes to get back on task after getting distracted at work? ⏰
🚀 Let’s increase your team’s productivity.
