- PaulHoule 3y agoFor my current and previous jobs we have a "standup" that involves posting a status update to Slack in the morning. I switched to writing my status update in the afternoon at the end of the day when: (1) what I was doing today was at my front of mind and easy to write down and (2) I usually have a pretty clear understanding of my plan for the next day. Instead of struggling the next morning to write down what I did, now I can look at last night's message in the morning to get a concise plan for the day and a hint to the immediate next step. (e.g. one thing I've gotten better at as I've gained experience is being able to "pack up" notes on what I am doing, go off and do something else, and then read the notes and resume the old project quickly.) I've never had any complaints about this in fact my boss thinks everyone in IT should write status updates as good as my own.
