Also, please send messages once you're done thinking and
writing. When someone is so inconsiderate and just does a
real-time braindump in the messenger, hitting return every half
sentence, I'll mute them.
That can be quite distracting, especially if the conversation isn’t urgent.
People messaging like the above cause me to mute them and just look at their messages once in a blue moon.
I realize there are still distractions re: notifications, etc. but I recommend people turn off chat sound effects to make the notifications less distracting.
It bugs me when on a Zoom call, I slack something, and I hear the Slack notification sound.
