Remote workers: how much time do you think you lose to typing and app switching daily?

My workday is mostly:

• Slack messages
• Email replies
• Editing Notion docs
• Scheduling meetings

What surprised me is how much energy goes into context switching.

Type → switch tab → paste → tweak → reply → schedule.

Hypothetical question:

If voice could reliably:
• Clean up grammar automatically
• Remove filler words
• Edit highlighted text
• Send messages or schedule meetings directly

Would you use it as your default input method?

Or would you still prefer typing?

Curious where remote professionals stand on this.
