You could create a focused custom feed. For example, I have one for "tasks assigned to me". That's what I set to when I'm focused working.

That's the beauty right -- you can control and filter what you see. As opposed to channel based interactions, where your boundaries are set in stone on channel creation.

But I don't currently use Slack as a task manager and don't want an unstructured task manager with no due dates or tags.

Yup. That's the point I'm making. Slack is used as ephemeral messaging system, a knowledge void. Struct aims to proves that more is possible.

Gmail threads can also be task managers. That doesn't mean they're the right UI for it.
