An easy way to do more focused work in Slack

The easiest way to describe Focus Mode is, ‘It’s the Pomodoro technique — designed exclusively for Slack.’ It lets users add the task they’re working on, set how long they’d like to focus on it, and how long the break should last between each focus period.

So to say we’re at home in Slack is an understatement: and our Geekbot experience was invaluable in helping us see what else was needed to make Slack a more focused, less distracting workspace.
