Turn off Basecamp alerts and use Slack only for urgent blockers
Guest says it improved the quality of work; no numbers

What they did
Basecamp for almost everything, with all notifications disabled at onboarding so people check it between blocks of deep work. Free Slack (90-day history) with notifications on, reserved strictly for urgent unblocking; policed heavily.
In their words
Sub Club by RevenueCat · What Reading.com Learned Testing Prices and Funnels — Tim Dikun, Teaching.com“What we do when we're onboarding new folks, we say, "We want you to use Basecamp, and we want you to disable all notifications."”
“But we police that pretty heavily so that if you're reaching out to me on Slack, it better be because you either need to tell me something right now or you need the answer from me right now.”
