Small changes that made our workspace calmer
Fewer notifications, one shared inbox, and a hard stop at the end of the day. The results surprised us.

Next came the shared inbox. One place for incoming requests meant no more work arriving through four channels at once, and it made the actual volume visible for the first time.
The last change was the hardest: a real stop time. Work expands to fill the space it is given, so we stopped giving it the evening.
