🧵 1/ If the past 2 years have taught us anything, it’s that business as usual is broken. Remote work promised a revolution, but meetings simply morphed into Zooms. Shoulder taps multiplied into relentless DMs. Long office hours became a constant presence on Slack.

[Chase Warrington @dcwarrington]

Here are @doist's 10 communication standards that have helped our remote team build the world's #1 productivity tool: @todoist ✅

- 100 teammates in 35 countries
- Averaging <2 hrs/wk of meetings
- Serving 40M+ customers in 19 languages

There is too much focus on doing many things at once. The real leverage comes out of extreme focus. A single app, one window, and only focusing on one task at a time.

There are also many studies on the harm of multi-tasking. It can take as much as 40% of your productive time (source will be linked below)...

Great demo on our latest improvements from the @amix3k!

Step-by-step, we're building the tools to make the future of work you deserve. 😊

[Amir Salihefendić @amix3k]

We released a bunch of Twist improvements:

— Threads are now neatly organized by date
— It's possible to favorite channels
— We've added Priority Unreads
— It's possible to hide closed threads
— (And many bug fixes & refactorings)

Here's a small demo from Doist's workspace!

[Twist @TwistWork]

So happy to be a small force in favor of more sanity! 😊

@balance_wtf @NotionHQ @SlackHQ Thanks for the kind words, Alex!

It's strange how some psychologically sophisticated companies prioritize engagement over focus, even when it's detrimental to the well-being of their users.

But with growing awareness, change is definitely possible!
