RescueTime user here, so most likely my usage is part of this sample. It’s absolutely shocking to me how much time I spend on Slack and email. On a day I felt productive, it’s usually between 2h and 3h of software development, and about 2h of slack.
If you would ask me, I would have said 15-30 minutes. But it’s expected nowadays to be constantly available to answer questions.
Other than conditioning people that you’re not responding quickly, I don’t have a good solution for this. Especially when the alternative is that you’re being called all the time, which is even more distracting.
