We’ve all been there. You're in the middle of a task, and then suddenly, you have to jump into something completely different. When you're forced to jump between your video/image editors and players and a Google Doc for review comments, it's easy to lose your flow. That constant context switching disrupts your creative rhythm and seriously undermines your productivity.

But what if there was a way to minimize all that unnecessary switching between tasks, apps, and tools? That’s where Flekh comes in—an all-in-one media collaboration and asset management platform designed to streamline your workflow and reduce context switching.

What is Context Switching?

At its core, context switching is when you move from one task or focus area to another, often with minimal transition time. In a work environment, this can be jumping between different software tools, emails, social media platforms, or even collaborating with multiple team members. Each time you switch, your brain needs to refocus, and the productivity cost adds up.

The High Cost of Context Switching

Here’s the thing: each time you switch between tasks or apps, you’re not just wasting time. You're also burning mental energy. Studies show that it takes an average of 23 minutes to fully refocus after switching tasks. If you're constantly jumping from app to app or project to project, you can quickly rack up hours of lost productivity. For marketing and creative teams managing a variety of digital assets, context switching can get out of hand really fast.

How Context Switching Distracts You (And What You Can Do About It)

Imagine you’re in the middle of reviewing a social media post in your asset management platform when a comment on a task pops up. You switch to address it, but then a file needs approval, and before you know it, you’ve moved through three different tools, all while still trying to make progress on that original post. It’s exhausting!

This is where the parallel between context switching and a hamster wheel comes in. You feel like you're moving forward, but you’re really just spinning in place.
