In a Microsoft Research study on meeting scheduling, 14% (!!) of meeting requests never got a reply at all.
The other 86% look like this video.
"Your 2pm or mine?" "Kind reminder" "I hope this email finds you well"...
Without you realize it, all that mental switching between coördination tasks and actual work creates attention residue: a part of your mind keeps hanging on the task you just left, especially when you can't mentally check of the open box).
We built @pidgy_ai so you can stop keeping score yourself and focus on the actual work. It knows who you're waiting on and follows up for you. Free for 7 days: pidgy-ai.com #Productivity #FutureOfWork #BehavioralScience

One platform. Every stakeholder. Zero chaos.
Audit engagements have more parties, more deadlines, and more moving parts than ever.
Email wasn’t built for that. Spreadsheets weren’t built for that.
But @AlkmistHQ is.

🚨 New publication alert! Our study with @wduyck and @NicolasDirix at @ugent & @securex just got published in @IJERPH_MDPI :
➡️ A tiny change at work led to a 922% increase in standing.
No mandate. Just a smarter default.
👇 Here’s what we did, and why it worked so well:
✅ Want results? Try this:
- Introduce a “high desk policy”
- Default desks to standing height
- Be transparent about the why
- Normalize it visually (posters, peers, prompts)
Tiny frictions. Massive impact.
