In flow mode? Pause Slack notifications with the DND shortcut

Managing distractions is key to maintaining focus and productivity when you're in flow mode. You can quickly pause Slack notifications using the DND (Do Not Disturb) shortcut. Flow mode is a state of deep work where you're fully immersed in a task, minimizing distractions to boost productivity.

Here's how to do this:

• On Mac: Press Cmd + Shift + D
• On Windows/Linux: Press Ctrl + Shift + D
• Next Step: Select a duration that suits your current task.

Benefits:

• Immediate Focus: No more constant pings or pop-ups—keep your attention on the task at hand.
• Time Control: Set the duration of DND according to your needs, whether it’s a quick 15-minute sprint or a longer deep work session.
