The cost of interrupted work: more speed and stress
Gloria Mark, Gudith and Klocke report an experiment in which interrupted work was often completed faster, at the price of more stress, frustration, workload and time pressure. The study was not designed to measure attention residue, so reading its results as evidence about residue is an inference.
