Another mental burden to remember to turn off slack notification, and notifications of this other Collab tool whenever I do not want to be interrupted.

Also, at least for me, it's not black and white when I need quiet time. I might jot down something, brings another idea and suddenly I have a new idea to fix a problem which has been nagging at me for months and off I go for 10 hours.

I won't think about turning off notification until there is one - by then my mental flow has been disturbed.

But I do love home office, I just want to outline that managing notifications is not without friction.

Why not make it a default state?

My default is all notifications off. I understand that for some people that's not really an option but for most it certainly is.
