Samuel Hulick ha delle buone ragioni per non utilizzare Slack. Personalmente lo apprezzo, ma a volte mi accorgo — usandolo per lavoro — che è utilizzato impropriamente e può risultare più impegnativo delle email:
Everything is scattered, and the mental load that comes with it is real. Linda Stone calls this perpetual, shallow quasi-presence “continuous partial attention”, and this makes each conversational thread, almost by definition, a loose one.
This isn’t so bad in the real world, where conversations have nuance and substance and context. With you, though, everything has roughly the same weight, so I find myself having to mentally maintain tabs on all my chats, be they consequential or not.
