I'm new to Slack (just leaving a FAANG for a startup) and all the inbox management skills I've built up over the years seem to be useless now.
Is there a good way to create an async task list from Slack? Right now if I get a message on Slack that I want to handle later I can:
a) Ignore it, so I keep the unread "red dot"
b) Use the "remind me" feature to make it synchronous but later
c) Just ... handle it now (sigh)
What I want is a list of threads I am meaning to get back to, but without having to actually use a separate list-making app. Is there a Slack app or workflow for this?
I work at an all-remote company and I just... don't notice when someone messages me on Slack, and i check it on my own schedule. It all just works.
I mute all channels I join apart from a few directly related to me on a daily basis. I very deliberately completely silence Slack so it's impossible for it to make a noise. I'm on windows so I don't get the notification toasts or the jumping in the Mac dock, so someone messaging me isn't distracting.
