Are modern workplaces optimizing for responsiveness instead of focus?
I’ve been thinking a lot about how modern work environments are affecting focus and mental fatigue.
Most workplaces today seem built around constant responsiveness:
- notifications
- meetings
- multitasking
- switching between tools constantly
At some point, it feels like many organizations may be optimizing more for responsiveness than for deep focused work.
I’m curious how others here think about this.
Do you think multitasking and constant interruption are becoming genuine workplace wellbeing issues, especially in remote or fast-moving environments?
