Absolutely - on my days off I HAVE to uninstall Slack, or I find myself reading all of the channels, messages and threads I'm subscribed to.
Some colleagues of mine have always just "batched" their messages, and have timeboxed reading/replying to slack messages on a schedule, just so they can focus.
I haven't tried this yet, as it feels rude, but that's the drawback of always online IM in a workplace.
