Setting Healthy Boundaries with Do Not Disturb
One of the fantastic features of Don’t Interrupt is the ability to automatically set Do Not Disturb (DND) modes on your Slack. By setting your working hours, the app will automatically enable DND outside of these hours, ensuring you aren’t disturbed during your downtime. This helps establish a clear work-life boundary, contributing to better mental health.
Using Statuses to Communicate Your Availability
Utilizing status messages is a simple but powerful way to communicate your availability to your team. Don’t Interrupt can automatically set your status based on your schedule or specific events, like meetings. For example, if you’re in a meeting, your status can show ‘In a meeting’, letting others know that you’ll respond later.
Synchronizing with Google or Outlook Calendars
Don’t Interrupt integrates seamlessly with Google and Outlook calendars. This means that if you have a meeting scheduled in your calendar, the app will automatically update your status and enable DND in Slack, helping to reduce interruptions during important events. This is particularly helpful when you have back-to-back meetings, and it helps maintain your focus on your current task.
Appearing Offline During Non-working Hours
This app lets you appear offline outside of your working hours. This reinforces to your colleagues that you are currently not available and protects your non-working hours from being encroached upon. This ability is invaluable for maintaining work-life balance and reducing the likelihood of burnout.
