I work remote! I make my French Press coffee, open my laptop, and read through these notifications in this order:

  1. email
  2. slack
  3. github

bigger company announcements tend to go out on email, which give me context for slack conversations, which in turn give me context for github issues/PRs

Did you start this notification-oriented approach deliberately or did you just sort of land on this routine organically?

Kind of both -- I'm an async member of a fast-paced startup so it makes sense but I tend to start my days with understanding where the people who I'm going to interact with are at anyhow.
