Problems With Real-Time Communication

The overhead of real-time communication leads to:

1. An inability to focus and make any meaningful progress in work.
2. The constant interruptions, and context-switching draining mental resources.
3. A constant FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) due to connectivity being made a priority over productivity.
4. More stress, high frustration and time pressure, which can lead to burnout
5. Lower quality discussions due to lack of time to think and reflect.
6. No offline time, which leads to a constant connection with work, disrupting the work-life balance.
