Slack is this constant reminder of oftentimes BOTH important and unimportant issues, and they are difficult to separate so your attention is distracted regardless.
But the platform has a remedy for this does it not? In allowing you to turn on notifications for highlight words that you specify? Seems reasonable to me that if one wants to be alerted of conversations happening around certain topics, but work in peace without dings and bells for everything else, this feature works quite well in solving that split of attention between relevant and not relevant, no?
This may be an example of what I mean by boundaries; the user is completely able to define a boundary of distractions, turn them off, or turn them off but for certain highlight words so that they get notifications for, and are able to respond in a timely manner when a discussion comes up that might appreciate their input as a knowledge-holder/SME on the topic. Otherwise they continue to work unperturbed.
Is this a feature that people just don't know about or forgo using for some other reason, in your opinion?
