Slacking Like a Boss
summary
Turn off all notifications and check Slack five minutes before meetings or between tasks so deep work stays uninterrupted; send true urgencies via phone, PagerDuty or the on‑call rota, not IM. Prefer public channels for technical threads, move important decisions into docs or email, and keep your muted list under 10 people and channels. Edit or delete incorrect messages, use emoji reactions to simplify workflows, and treat integrations (for example Datadog-style feeds) sparingly so Slack stays low priority but searchable.
