![]() When I used Slack, if it was open and there was an indicator for a channel, I checked that channel. You want to go wild, it would be great to be able to fully turn off channels client-side during certain periods of the day so that new messages literally won't show up until it's turned back on. I'll add to this that if anyone involved with Slack is around here, Slack is in desperate need of more powerful/flexible muting controls - ie, not just muting notifications from specific channels/DMs, but actually doing things like suppressing visual indicators in the sidebar, muting during certain time periods, etc. This is all great advice (especially "uninstall it from your phone"). Using that, I went from being totally addicted to Slack to being able to be a productive worker again. If you’re really worried about being uncontactable then put your phone number in your Slack bio. If anyone needs you and really can’t wait a few hours then they’ll ask your manager and be able to get in touch. Tell your close team mates/manager that if they ever need you urgently they can contact via Signal/WhatsApp. People will understand you’re not easily contactable.Ħ. At the start of the day, block out the rest of the time without meetings etc as Deep Work. These days I can get away with less than 10 minutes.Ĥ. When I was a senior manager with lots of actually important messages these blocks were about half an hour each (for a total of about 2.5 hours a day). Set times (about 5 a day) to check in and respond to notifications and scan channels. ![]() Slack app on my laptop fully closed by default.ģ.

As Bill Morein, Head of Product at FiftyThree, states: Today’s modern teams are searching for products and workflows that complement each other. The requirements are new and different as team work has evolved quickly in the mobile, always-connected era. The reason our user base is growing so rapidly is because Quip is built in, and for, the modern era of teamwork – the same era as consumer apps like Facebook and Snapchat. In the past, the categories of “productivity software” and “collaboration software” were filled with complex, heavy software built for a non-connected era. Our platform frees up teams to do their best work without any of the pain. Unlike restrictive legacy platforms, Quip is purposefully open, conversational and malleable. Just like your favorite teammate, Quip is friendly and easy to work with. Two companies who share the same vision: Make teams more connected and productiveīoth Quip and Slack are designed for humans.
