Sheet Sherpa protects your mental flow state 🧠 by solving the frequent and focus-interrupting task of shuffling between worksheets. Sheet Sherpa is estimated to save a whopping 13 full workdays of cumulative time each year😵💫.

Time saved from manual navigation:Navigating through Excel workbooks demands patience and precision. Just getting to the right worksheet takes between 2 and 30+ seconds (for larger workbooks). Assuming an average of 5 seconds per switch, time adds up quickly
Avid Excel users switch between worksheets 100 to 1000 times per day! Assuming an average of just 200 switches per day, this amounts to 1000 seconds, which is over 15 minutes per day! And that's just mechanically navigating between worksheets.
Extrapolating to a full year (240 working days), this amounts to a staggering 67 hours. That's over 8 full workdays! Alas, humble Sherpa guides you to new heights, saving your eyes from dizzying and your fingers from carpal tunneling.
A wealth of reserach exists on the effects of (cognitive) task switching, navigating interfaces, and repetitive manual operations. Such tasks inhibit cognitive loads like data analysis and formula engineering—and are a threat to our precious state of deep focus, your mental "flow state."
Sheet Sherpa climbs ahead of these very threats. With the Sherpa by your side you can literally navigate with your eyes closed—or undistracted from your data, relationships, and formulas.
Now, let's quantify the impact. Research shows that regaining deep focus takes 1 to 10 minutes following an interruption. Let's conservatively assume that Sheet Sherpa prevents only 5 such interruptions per day, requiring 2 minutes each to regain focus. This saves 10 minutes per day (and some frustration)!
Extrapolating to a full year, this amounts to 40 hours. That's 5 full workdays! Alas, the humble Sherpa may bestow great peace and wisdom upon those who can truly listen.
