Set Slack norms and personal settings that protect focus without hurting collaboration.
Example output
Sample response
**Settings:** mute all except @mentions + 2 critical channels; schedule quiet 9–11. **Status:** 🎧 Deep work — replies after 11. **Team post:** "Proposing focus blocks 9–11, async OK, urgent = call." **Emergency:** phone call beats Slack ping.
