Over-Communicate on Purpose

In remote work, what feels like over-communicating is often the right amount. Share progress proactively, and never wait to be asked.

Use a simple daily rhythm: one morning message naming today's top outcome, and one afternoon update when it's done. Teams read that rhythm as reliability — and reliability is what promotion conversations run on.

What backfires is the weekly mega-update nobody reads. Break it into small, time-stamped beats, and the same information lands with far more visibility.
