Ideas for a better digital workday

Attendance without surveillance

Why transparent measurement beats surveillance for building trust.

How to read a productivity heatmap

A practical guide to spotting burnout, bottlenecks, and your team's real peak hours.

The patterns that reveal burnout, bottlenecks, and peak productivity.

Deep work at scale

What we've learned about protecting focus when everyone is busy and always-on.

What DEX signals actually matter for your teams.

Rolling out Momentum in 14 days

A step-by-step plan to go from pilot to org-wide adoption without the pushback.

Why one small workflow fix often beats any behavioral policy.

Coaching with evidence, not anecdotes

Turn your one-on-ones into supportive, data-grounded conversations that actually help.

How to measure AI adoption without it becoming a surveillance tool.

The hidden tax of always-on tools

Notifications feel productive. The data tells a very different — and more expensive — story.

Managing the team you can’t see

Hybrid didn’t break management. It broke the shortcuts managers relied on instead of managing.

Building a desktop agent people don’t hate

Notes from building monitoring software that respects the person being measured.

A productivity score is a question, not a verdict

The most useful thing a score can do is start the right conversation. Here’s how to keep it that way.

Capacity planning with real numbers, not vibes

Most headcount requests are built on gut feel and a busy-looking calendar. Utilisation data from the teams you already have tells a sharper story, and it usually changes the ask.

Monitoring that survives a works-council review

German works councils have killed more monitoring rollouts than any regulator ever will. Here is what we have learned from the deployments that got a yes: minimise the data, publish the rules, and treat the DPIA as a design document rather than paperwork.

What counts as work? The art of app classification

YouTube is a distraction for an accountant and a core tool for a video editor. Getting productive, neutral and unproductive labels right is the least glamorous and most consequential setup step in workforce analytics.

What a four-day-week pilot actually showed

One of our customers ran a 12-week four-day-week pilot and measured it with Momentum rather than a mood survey. Output held, meetings shrank by a third, and the feared Thursday-night crunch mostly failed to appear. Mostly.

Burnout shows up in the data first

Months before a resignation letter, the pattern is already visible: late-night activity creeping earlier into the evening, breaks shrinking, weekend logins becoming routine. The person insists they are fine. The data has stopped agreeing.

The endpoint blind spot: what your fleet is actually doing

Most incidents don't start with a firewall failure. They start on a laptop nobody was watching — unencrypted, three patches behind, quietly copying files to a personal drive.

The hardware nobody's watching: what an unmanaged fleet costs

A $200,000 laptop refresh went to the loudest complainers. The team that was actually starved for capacity never said a word — the data just showed it, six months too late.
