It might be time to just shut off slack for a few hours a day.
It's probably frowned upon in some places, but when I _really_ need to focus (during daytime hours), I generally shut down slack, email, my phone, etc.
Generally, the teams I've worked with over the years have been amenable to this. I try to promote it with my teams as well: actual time off (no popping in while on vacation or sick), good sleep, time for focus, shutting off slack - especially when not working.
The last thing any of us need is to burn out because of notification overload. It makes us a stronger team if we're all healthy, well-rested, and able to get things done.
