I have found slack to be wonderful when troubleshooting production downtime. Not just during it, but after, for the post mortem.
Other times I try to treat it like email. That means turning off the notifications and closing the client for long periods of time.

When there is a live issue I like to get everyone on a call and just keep it running even if there’s nothing to say. Just the little sounds of puzzlement or frustration are sometimes a clue to open up further conversation
