Average professional switches between tasks in a single workday

87 times.
That is how many times the average professional switches between tasks in a single workday.

Not because they want to. Because their phone exists.

Every ping pulls you out. Every notification costs you 23 minutes to regain deep focus, according to research from UC Irvine.

Do the math. You are losing hours daily just recovering from interruptions.

And here is the brutal part: even when your phone sits silent on your desk, face down, your brain is working overtime to ignore it. That cognitive load drains you before lunch.

The professionals who seem superhuman?

They are not working more hours.
They are protecting the hours they have.

Physical separation changes everything. When your device is locked away, not just muted, your brain stops the exhausting background task of resisting it.

The SPRYEN Solutions Detox Box removes the negotiation. Set your timer for 90 minutes or two hours. Lock your phone inside. Work without the mental drain of “should I check this?”
