- m1573rp34130dy 8y agothank you...
- thecatspaw 8y agoAgreed, its the notifications which are the productivity killer. Not the social media platforms. With all of them you can disable notifications. Funnily enough my biggest productivity killer at work is slack.
- ddebernardy 8y agoOh yeah, Slack (or equivalent) is a monster too. But it's unfortunately there to stay, at least for remote teams. A good way to ignore it, btw, is to disable notifications (including the one on the icon) and to spend most of the day in Do Not Disturb mode. It ensures you only read it on your schedule while leaving some leeway for when something urgent comes up. Another big productivity killer IMO is email. But that one's easier to manage if you stick to doing it once or twice per day only and have rules that get corporate email noise out of your way.
- m1573rp34130dy 8y ago...the demand for a response is wired in to most undamaged wetware... ...willing compliance is a phenomenal leverage point... being social creatures the whole tribe is in chaos if we dont comply or come to consensus of group action, thus blind faith in authorities of all types exist as a conditioned response
