## The problem

Context switching wipes your working memory. Getting back in takes longer than the interruption.

## How Plexii handles it

After three or more minutes away, a Welcome back pill says how long you were gone. Where was I and Resume get you back to the desk and the page.

In short: Interruptions are part of work. Coming back should not cost you half an hour. Plexii shows how long you were away and takes you back to where you were.
