This is because demanding that people spout what they did since yesterday is not how to manage humans. You need to engage with them. Call them up (voice ideally, but a slack DM thread is ok) and ask questions like they're another human being (not : what did you do since yesterday?).
- rukuu001 4y ago> demanding that people spout what they did since yesterday is not how to manage humans Yeah I made it sound that way a bit right? Happy to say that's not what's happening. It's more that if I don't ask, they'll tend not to volunteer anything. We only have a few hours cross-over every day, and it's hard to generate a good sense of 'team!'

Leave me be, and I'll update you when there's something to update. A gentle slack nudge "remember to update trello/jira/post here/whatever" is fine since I can do that whatever. If you call me with "hey, how's it going" while I'm in the zone and holding 7 things in my mind, you've just ruined my day and wasted at least an hour of my time.
