How to Reduce Context Switching at Work
Context switching is expensive because each switch forces you to reload goals, timelines, people, and unfinished thoughts.

Context switching is expensive because each switch forces you to reload goals, timelines, people, and unfinished thoughts. Even short switches have a hidden tax if they happen often enough.
That tax gets worse when your systems are fragmented. Email, tasks, decisions, and follow ups all live in separate places, which means the burden of reconnection falls back on your memory.
Foldera is built to reduce some of that reconnection work. It tries to assemble context into one prepared move so you do less manual stitching across the day.
