One of my main problems with Slack (as opposed to email) is that I can’t seem to find a reasonable way to deal with messages later. The reminder approach doesn’t do it for me at all. How do you handle todos?

Interesting. Can you use Todoist while on the go to easily create email todos?

At @zweitag we wrote an app integrated as Slack Action that forwards the content as a mail where I use zero inbox.

That seems like a good idea. It’s not open source by any chance?

Close it for focus work hours completely.

That seems like a good idea, but what does it have to do with my question? ;)

I ask people to send me an email for everything that can be handled asynchronously.

Yes, I do the same. I also sometimes send myself an email referring to a Slack message. Surely there must be better options?

Slack is not a todo list. Create a task in an actual todo list, copy the link to the slack message into the task for context.

Makes sense. How do you actually handle that while, say, on the road and reading a slack message on your phone?
