Curing Our Slack Addiction

this addiction has been killing my sanity and sapping our productivity as we simply used Slack for too many things... we would add more channels in a desperate attempt to allow people to find the important information they needed while avoiding the noise...
All of these interactions would happen in Slack, despite there being many other tools that are better suited. Tools like bug trackers and wikis would allow answers to be preserved so future questions wouldn’t even have to be asked but they weren’t as fun. We all knew how great it would be to have a repository of knowledge for people to find their answers, but Slack was simply too good at providing the quick fix...
the lack of threading made it very difficult to have meaningful, deep conversations about complex subjects... we had so many channels and direct messages and group chats. It multiplexed my brain and left me in a constant state of anxiety... And I had to read everything.
