Slack can easily get overwhelming, especially at larger organization with thousands of channels.
One tip: don't install slack on your phone unless you're on call. I would check my work slack habitually and it wouldn't lead to good engagement. Read the messages when you're at your desk and you can compose a thoughtful reply.
Another tip: slack lets you organize channels into groups, use that feature heavily. I had groups for: org, sev (incident specific channels), projects etc. You can then hide them so you only engage with the unreads when you have the time to.
