Hey everyone,

Quick question out of curiosity.

I work as a manager in a consulting firm, and a lot of my day goes into communicating across platforms like Slack, WhatsApp, Teams, LinkedIn messages, etc. Switching between all of them sometimes feels a bit messy.

A couple of things I personally struggle with are important tasks getting buried in chats and constantly jumping between apps to keep up with conversations.

Would be great to hear how you handle this in your day-to-day work.

    Instruct your others that if they want or need you to do something then they communicate via a single method.

    Then ignore all the rest.

      Internally it’s doable to set that kind of rule, but when it comes to clients, it’s not really practical to ask them to switch or stick to one platform.

      That’s where it gets tricky, since I still have to stay flexible on their side.

        It can be, you just say you only use “messaging app of choice” and email. Email always works. And you can’t use any other app due to company security policies.
