Yeah, agreed, using Slack's do-not-disturb to pause any notifications works really well. To be honest, not sure why the article doesn't mention this key (fairly obvious) feature to decrease distractions... Just looked, it was written in 2018, maybe Slack didn't have do not disturb back then??

I've found it extremely limited. For example it only allows a single scheduled DND period per day. Also no way to do DND excluding a few specific people or specific channels.
