Most “quick syncs” can be async. This honours everyone’s need for flow and deep work.

Compose your thought but schedule the message to go out when you expect the recipient(s) to be at work.

Block out focus time on your calendar so people know exactly when you are available.

Don’t pressure people or get pressured into responding to an email the moment they/you see it.

Set up your default status in a way that everyone knows you use the platform in an asynchronous manner.

Plan your week in advance, ration the distractions and use an app blocker to reap all the benefits of async work.
