[Quick Tips] How to stay sane in the face of endless Slacks

In Marketing Operations, it's so so easy to get buried in endless Slack messages and it's twice as bad if you're on the consulting side 😓

Handy Tricks

Here's 4 of my favorite tricks to keep my Slack mostly under control:

📍 Use Sections to bucket contacts and channels so when a notification comes through, you can tell at a glance how important/urgent it is likely to be

📍 Get comfortable sending a quick "Hey I saw your message and I'll send a more detailed response by TIME/DATE" to help manage expectations

📍 Use Reminders to make sure you don't forget to send that detailed response

📍 When responding, think through whether a written response actually is the best response or a video recording, voice note or quick 15 min sync are more efficient and/or more effective in terms of helping folks understand and digest your response
