AI Users have workdays up to 90 min longer than non-users
What happened
ActivTrak’s Productivity Lab analyzed behavioral data from 9,140 knowledge workers and found that AI users work longer days, ranging from 8.4 to 9.1 hours versus 7.6 hours for non‑users—a difference of up to 90 minutes. Heavy AI users also switch applications more often (1.1 switches per hour, 15.2% more than non‑users) and have shorter uninterrupted focus sessions (37.8 minutes vs. 48.2 minutes for light users).
Why it matters
The findings suggest that adopting AI tools can extend the length of the workday and increase task fragmentation, which may impact employee workload and focus.
