You could waste a lot of time looking for the right productivity
app.
There are over 19,000 productivity apps [2]in the iTunes store, and
endless [3]recommendations of apps that promise to magically give
hours back to your day. But here's the thing: switching between apps
all day long is actually the enemy of productivity.
Researchers have [4]found that the average worker toggles between
apps 10 times every hour. With each context switch, there's another
possibility of distraction. And after each distraction, it takes
[5]on average (pdf) 23 minutes and 15 seconds to truly get refocused
on the task at hand.
So how might workers keep productivity software as a tool working
for them, rather than the other way around? We spoke to three
productivity app founders to find out.

"People talk about productivity like it's all about numbers and lines of
code, but real productivity is about the feeling you get when you close the
laptop for the day," says Moah. "I go home happy when I feel accomplished."
