The key to unlocking creativity and productivity is not always simple. Studies have shown that humans currently spend nearly 50% of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they are working on. This fact has led experts to wonder, what if there was a better way to capture thoughts for future use?
There are many reasons why our thoughts go unfinished, from distractions to task switching to procrastination. Multitasking can cost up to 40% of a person’s productive time, and distractions can cost 2.1 hours per workday. Conceptualizing thoughts can also be very time-consuming, as these thoughts are very complex and often difficult to put into words.
When we fail to capture our thoughts, goals don’t get accomplished, work is less fulfilling, and it will take longer to complete tasks. For people with learning disabilities, these processes can take much longer. In order to combat this, there are many techniques and services that can aid meaningful productivity. Traditional methods often make it harder to capture thoughts, which is why AI and content creator tools are becoming more popular. These tools are often faster than typing and are more accessible to neurodivergent populations, changing the landscape of productivity in the workplace forever.
