Heck, I even had a personal policy of never scheduling regular meetings (they all needed to be “as-needed”).
However, I worked for a Japanese company, so regular meetings were a part of my life; whether or not I liked it.
I prefer “store and forward” communication (email is the classic form). Working for a Japanese company actually helped, there, as it was damn near impossible to have realtime chats with Tokyo.
If I use Slack that way, I do miss stuff in noisy channels, but I’ve learned to live with it (so have people I work with).
