Stop Checking Email So Often (2015)
I don&#x27;t mean to hijack the focus from email specifically, but i find slack suffers from the same, if not worse, issue. Without exception, the most productive days i have had since my team adopted slack are the days when i forget to open it in the mornings, and achieve hours of uninterrupted work.<p>All of these conversations, be it open-office&#x2F;email&#x2F;slack&#x2F;etc are a rehashing of something we all know: fewer distractions leads to increased productivity. The trick is to balance that with collaboration and help channels, so the product and collective productivity of a team is improved, not just an individual&#x27;s.
