Well managed email.
Slack is the equivalent of a noisy open concept office in your computer.
Email is like a cubicle with a door and the only way people can interrupt you is thorough a little mailbox in the door.
Slack is the antithesis of deep work.
- IshKebab 4y agoThere's nothing fundamental in email that means you'll get fewer notifications than Slack. If you don't want to be interrupted just turn off notifications temporarily. Or quit the app.
- elviejo 4y agoIn slack the default communication is the channel where multiple people get the same message. That's why I compare it with a no soy open office concept were everyone yells at each other. In email the default communication mechanism is the message to one person... That's why I compare it to a cubicle with a door.. you can close the door... Ie have your email client only check for new messages once a day or you can leave the door open ie check your email client multiple times a day.
- IshKebab 4y agoNonsense. Slack has direct messages. Email has groups. There's no difference.
