Context switching cost calculator

Price what interruptions really cost: the minutes lost per switch, multiplied by a working year, in hours and in money at your own rate.

Each interruption costs more than the minute it takes: it costs the climb back. Multiplied by a year, the figure is usually large enough to justify changing how the team works.
