Ask HN: I have diagnosed ADHD and cannot work with Slack anymore – advice?
10 months ago, I started to work at a company that uses Slack heavily. They have 1000+ channels and my team is tagged in a lot of stuff so I get a lot of notifications.
I can't concentrate at all. It's not like it's annoying, I simply cannot work.
I have been spending 10x more energy since I started to just keep above the water but now, after 10 months, I'm simply drowning and my tickets are all piling up.
I don't want to be that person that's not reachable but more and more, I'm thinking about closing Slack and opening it 2-3x a day.
