In Slack and Zoom were distracting…, John Lacy notes:
- We found that asynchronous communication methods, such as Slack and email, were being treated as synchronous communication methods. …we had created an always-on distraction…
- We found that remote work led to more meetings, not fewer.
The set new rules:
- Async means same-day or next-morning.
- Need faster? Text. [Or, y’know, phone. Remember phones? -ed]
- Block out Maker hours. They used 150-min in AM, and 90-min in PM.
