- wilbo 6y agoAsync requires more deliberate planning to avoid context more frequent switching. Time blocking is your friend and with asynchronous communication you have more freedom to time block. You can create a maker's schedule for yourself rather than the manager's schedule where your day is an endless string of meetings. Slack and other instant messaging tools may make it feel like you need to be always on and responsive, but instant messaging is at odds with async.
