    Gonna get ahead of Zoom fatigue. Restricting videoconf to stuff I actually look forward to. Everything else, I’m temporal-distancing. You get asynchronous version of me. 30s-72h lag. Learn to do stuff with chat/slack people.

        slack isn't good for asynchronous IMHO. it's more of a tool that allows you to turn your own problems into other people's distractions, and investment into threads is not rewarded later, it's a bit of a graveyard after the moment passes

        I sometimes feel like if you dropped slack and just invested into a tool like confluence and actually built a knowledge graph, a lot of that thinking wouldn't hvae gone to waste, and it would be of a genuine asynchronous workflow that allowed people to take things at their pace

        For most kinds of knowledge work, async you is a better you anyway.

        async is 100% the key to working on distributed teams. Will be interesting to see how long it takes folks to figure this out

        Millennials and below get it. It’s the older ones who are besotted with face time.

        This is the right way forward. Maintain your timeframe. Others maintaining their timeframe will cause anxiety in these times of chaos.
