🤫 Recommendations to minimize notification overload

  • Limit the channels you are in.

    • Group channels (Starred, Joint Analytical Cell, etc) to highlight those you want to access regularly

  • Mute the channels you don’t need to follow.

  • Explicitly @mention people when you need a response so they’re notified even if they mute the channel (otherwise muting channels ends up being ineffective).

  • Disable notifications and instead batch follow ups.

    • From your desktop, click your profile picture in the top right.

    • Select Preferences from the menu to open your notification preferences.

    • Under Notify me about, choose nothing

      • To use different triggers for your mobile notifications, check the box next to Use different settings for my mobile devices, then select your preference from the drop-down menu.

      • Disable all sounds if desired

    • Customize your sidebar to only show relevant conversations
