Picture this: You’re on the beach. It's the long-awaited summer vacation — maybe to Europe or somewhere out of the city. You just opened the book you have been waiting to read for months and have a cocktail in hand. Instead of reading the novel or sipping the drink, you’re checking hundreds of Slack notifications that have popped up since you’ve been away.
