How often does the social media monster swallow you whole?
More than you may think, according to Red e App, which lets consumers get notifications from businesses without having to provide their personal information.
The company developed an infographic, below, that details how interruptions impact employee productivity.
"Is it possible to be too connected in this digital age?" Red e App asks in a blog post. "Research data indicates, yes."
Among the findings, the infographic shows that workers are interrupted approximately once every 10.5 minutes, and that it takes an average of 23 minutes to return to an assigned task. The impact of these interruptions is staggering -- costing the American economy almost $650 billion dollars a year, it says.
The infographic then breaks down the amount of time that Facebook, Twitter and email suck out of your day.
