It's sync vs async. Slack won't help if you let it spam you with notifications for every OH SO URGENT message. Make a habit to ignore it and batch answer now and then, between tasks not during tasks. Then teach everyone else in the org to do the same if they don't get the hint.

Agree heavily. Async mediums that interrupt like Slack with all the notifications stink. Having good habits around notification and interruption management is important. As is making sure everyone understands and operates within the same mindset.

  It’s not slacks fault. Everything interrupts by default until you switch on mute and nail the mute switch down.

    Sane defaults would be great. The amount of interruptions on a day to day basis I would imagine is a significant drain on the collective attention span.
