How to get back time?

[sumaiyakhatun26]

How is asynchronous work supposed to help us reclaim our time? Here we come to the absolutely basic activity that is assigning tasks to each other or leaving messages on Slack or Asana. In fact, this is what the idea of ​​asynchronous work comes down to in many companies or for many managers.



Do you want someone to do something but you can't or don't want to meet about it now?



prepare an email for this person,
write down her task in detail in Asana,
post her a long private message in the project channel on Slack so everyone laos rcs data can read it.


And that's all.



But let's go a step further, because asynchronous work - in itself - is not the solution. This style of work generates just as many problems, just as time-consuming. It turns out that preparing a note can take just as much of your working time (if we could call it that) as the meeting itself.



There are things that can't be solved, explained to someone, or described in 5 minutes. So you create a large document in Google Docs. You write a very long and detailed email. You create a large comment to a task on Asana, and so on.



And it turns out that although you have a note prepared, you haven't saved any time. You've simply taken the time you've regained by not having a meeting, somewhere else.

It is replacing one tool with another, equally time-consuming one. Perhaps not distracting from concentration, which is of course the basic principle of this style of work, but is there anything that can be done to regain some time in addition to this asynchronous work and maintaining concentration?
