Productivity Trends in 2021

A major challenge that many face today is the lack of motivation that comes with completing tasks and building positive habits. Here is some research on the issue to clarify the figures:

  • Data shows that approximately 70% of employees consider themselves to be disengaged at work.
  • 88% of employees admit to procrastinating for at least one hour a day
  • An average person endures around 96 minutes of distractions every day, such as calls and informal meetings, enforcing a staggering 15 minutes post distraction to properly return to the task at hand.
  • More than a third of people routinely waste 30 minutes daily on unproductive activities, due to online and offline s-disruptors such as social media and online shopping.
  • Almost a quarter of the workday is spent checking emails with an average 250 mails received daily by CEOs.

Most people suffer with lack of motivation, unclear focus on approaching habits and tasks, challenges with procrastination, and difficulty finding the right habits. What’s more, existing information about productivity methodologies are prepared for the mass media and are, thus, not personalized. The productivity software market currently serves a market size of 85 billion dollars, while the productivity mobile app market is 27.8 billion dollars; yet, a comprehensive solution that addresses all the pain points of a common user is lacking. In comes Insumo: your personal productivity and habit tracking assistant.

What is Insumo?

Insumo is a wellbeing and productivity coach that helps you effectively track your habits and tasks and identify positive and negative patterns in progress through its AI functionality. The solution integrates reminders and suggestions to transform negative progress and habits and generate a big picture mindset in forming habits. A smart feature the solution offers is the gamification of habit formation processes and the introduction of habit streaks that allow for a sense of achievement and reward.

The solution comes with a web platform that helps you track your activities, moods and habits. Once you sign up, you can create an activity, add tags, follow up on its progress and gain a holistic view. The smart and intuitive platform also offers integrations with other productivity solutions such as Google Calendar, Todoist, Asana, Trello, Monday.com, and Outlook. Within the product, you are granted access to individual pages for your meetings, tasks and habits, and can find a library of habit templates to help organize your tasks.

Insumo’s other features you can capitalize on include:

  • A timer for selected tasks so that you can plan and associate times for different tasks accordingly.
  • Setting challenges for yourself for bedtime routines, morning schedules, sugar free weeks, and more.
  • Customised solutions in line with your member personality questionnaire and calendar data.

Although the domain of productivity solutions have been penetrated by other solutions in the market, Insumo differentiates itself by offering the following app features for a more comprehensive approach to the problem at hand: calendar integration, task management, planning/scheduling, organization, reminders, habit tracking, motivation/gamification, and integration.
