When [Gloria] Mark crunched the data, a picture of 21st-century office work emerged that was, she says, “far worse than I could ever have imagined.” Each employee spent only 11 minutes on any given project before being interrupted and whisked off to do something else.… And each time a worker was distracted from a task, it would take, on average, 25 minutes to return to that task.
