@andreasklinger we switched from slack to https://t.co/UDkFCYl4UY and it was the best decision ever

[Ygor Durães @ygorduraes]

@wizofecom If your team works in different time zones, I'd rather give @TwistWork a try.

It's way better for async work than Slack.

Then use something else only for emergencies, like Telegram.

“ Since we’ve shifted from Slack to Twist as an organization, we’ve observed a decrease in internal emails, increased knowledge sharing across teams, and fewer active conversations during non-business hours.” — Amanda https://t.co/f9vHzkjd8i

After reviewing 100+ business tools, I believe @TwistWork's attempt at disrupting the Discord-Slack duopoly is the best-thought, most humane and boldest. Worth a read:

"[Async comms] is slower. Is that bad? Is being slow bad?... There’s a top speed you can go on a highway before you’re just being reckless, and it’s dangerous and you’re going to end up in a hospital, not at your destination faster." @jmitch @yac @doist

I'm curious to hear from you remote/hybrid pros - how do you balance work vs team building, at offsite meetings & retreats? Have there been any activities that were especially impactful IRL?

If you have any suggestions/resources/contacts I should connect with - please share 🙏

In the Twist Future of Work Series, we're chatting with leaders who are building products/services to help shape the #FutureOfWork. In this edition, I sat down with @gdcaplan, CEO at @meetwithspot, to discuss the future of meetings. Read/listen/watch: https://t.co/ZHNMedjg0K

6 years into our journey with Twist, most companies would’ve quit. Radically changing the way people work is a hard battle. But we’re not afraid.

Today, we’re doubling down on our bet against status-quo and launching a new Twist.

As one achieves focus, the mind quiets. As the mind is kept in the present, it becomes calm. Focus means keeping the mind now and here.

[Allan Kjellstrøm Christensen @Zjellstrom]

The single most important change you can make in your working habits is to switch to creative work first, reactive work second. This means blocking off a large chunk of time every day for creative work on your own priorities, with the phone and e-mail off.
