Bevi survey of 1,000 U.S. employees reveals what’s really distracting workers today – and inspires the launch of Focus Blend, a clean, customizable enhancement.
BOSTON, MA., September, 2025 – Americans are more distracted now than ever before. Constant notifications, endless social media feeds, and a 24/7 news cycle all pull our attention in different directions every day, especially at work. To dig deeper into the challenges people face when trying to focus at work, Bevi asked 1,000 employees across various U.S. industries what helps – and what hurts – their ability to concentrate during the workday. The results reveal not only the biggest productivity disruptors, but also how they vary by generation.
