A serious question โ with just enough Sunday energy.
Walk into any Swiss office in independent wealth management, and youโll find yourself surrounded by monitors. Not just tools, but markers of workflow, status, and maybe, just maybe, distraction.
- 1๏ธโฃ One screen? Youโre new. Or bold. Possibly both.
- 2๏ธโฃ Two? Respectable. Outlook is on one, and the portfolio platform is on the other. Focused, functional, efficient.
- 3๏ธโฃ Three? Now weโre getting serious. Bloomberg, CRM, transaction blotter โ and maybe your lunch menu on standby.
- 4๏ธโฃ Four? Thatโs a different game. The desk starts pushing back. The mouse starts disappearing. And the user? Often lost in a sea of windows, blinking cursors and overlapping compliance alerts.
In independent wealth management, screen setups have become a quiet competition. But are they still helping us do better work, or just making us feel busier?
Most days, you only wanted to check one number. Fifteen minutes later, youโve opened six tabs, dragged three dashboards across your monitors, and lost your mouse between screen two and the abyss.
๐ฑ๏ธ Itโs probably still there. Thinking.
Screens promise clarity. But in 2025, clarity means something else:
๐ฃ Knowing when to close a few windows.
โจ Knowing which monitor matters.
Sometimesโฆ taking a step away from all of them.
๐ง Sunday school holiday thought:
Fewer screens. Sharper thinking. Because productivity isnโt measured in pixels โ itโs measured in focus.
