After working remotely for years I found a system that worked for me. I would email, or send a slack message, to my direct manager every single day. It really helps especially when you're working asynchronously and you're not online at the same time. Here's the template: Hey {{ manager.name}}, here’s my status update for today. 1. I got the free email, created, scheduled, and ready to be sent. 2. I fixed the job creator bugs related to the timezone issues 3. I added a few dynamic rules to the email creator to make things easier in the future. Here’s the document where I document those dynamic rules: {{ link }} Tomorrow, I'm going to implement the automatic country-tagging based on the user's timezone. --- A simple daily summary like that really helped increase my communication with my manager and help keep us on the same page. I even ended up creating a #status-update channel on the Slack we use.
