Do you find that you spend collectively more time checking Slack than you used to spend dealing with email? Do you think you spend more time in switching costs from concentrating on your work to focusing on the Slack conversations? I've found it to be analogous to converting all my emails and meetings into a 500 mini meetings and email but spread across the whole day with no real opportunity to compartmentalize them.
- lyschoening 10y agoNo, I don't. When the messages become a distraction, you can just snooze the notifications for a few hours. If a message pops up in a channel with a topic that isn't a priority, you can just leave it unread until the more important things are dealt with. In these regards Slack is not very different from email for me.
