Asynchronous communication boasts a number of advantages over synchronous communication. Firstly, it doesn’t require both parties to be online at the same time, and just like email, you can write down your thoughts, ideas, and plans as they come to you and then ask your collaborators to get involved at a time suitable to them. The same is true to other way around, allowing you to develop flow without distractions.
Additionally, when using asynchronous communication, you can also take advantage of async meetings. In particular, when combining Spike Notes and Groups, you can quickly and easily set up a digital space to collaborate, create, and communicate—regardless of whether you work in the same office or different continents.
