[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well you’re “online,” but you’re on DCUM. So there’s that.

A huge part of my work is writing. I deliberately stay off of email/Slack, etc., during focus time. [/quote]

Same. I create reports based on data sets and a huge portion of my day is spent analyzing data in spreadsheets and creating charts and analysis from them. It can all happen offline, and I take advantage of this to work in places where I don't have internet access so that I can work uninterrupted for hours at a time.

Like this morning I checked email at 8am, but then went to a coffee shop (and kept my computer offline) to get some work done. I only just logged on again to check email and take a "brain break" by visiting DCUM. But if OP is one of my colleagues, they probably think I took a 3 hour nap this morning and am only just now getting to work, when the opposite is true.

I find it very hard to do my work while getting pinged constantly on email or Slack. I need deep focus, which means minimizing interruptions.[/quote]

This exactly. I'm glad my employer measures me more on productivity / deliverables met than how long I'm showing signed into garbage like Slack (where people use it for synchronous communication, no less). [/quote]
