The Problem: Too Much Time Searching, Not Enough Time Working
According to McKinsey, the average knowledge worker spends nearly 20% of their work week - roughly 2.5 hours per day - searching for information buried in emails, documents, and siloed tools. That's over 30 days per year lost to searching instead of doing meaningful work.
