Tip #1: How to set reminders To set a reminder from any message box:
For example, to set a reminder to take a coffee break: /remind me every weekday at 2pm to take a coffee break. To set a reminder for your team meeting in your channel you might type: /remind #[channel] on July 31st at 10:55am to join the monthly meeting. Message reminders: When you want to follow up on a conversation or remind yourself of a task, you can set a reminder for any message in Slack.
Manage your reminders Use the /remind list command in any channel or direct message to view upcoming, past, or incomplete reminders. Slackbot will return a list that only you can see. You can action these reminders directly from your list.
Tip # 2: How to archive and mute channels Archiving channels that aren’t being used anymore:
Muting channels that you need to be in but find too noisy: Muting a channel allows you to browse its activity without being notified of unread messages. Muted channels appear at the bottom of your channel list. Keep in mind when you mute a channel, you will no longer receive any notifications from the channel, including @mentions.
Tip # 3: How to prioritise important channels, messages and files by starring them
Tip #4: How to streamline your view by hiding conversations with no unread activity
