Now, very often I hear the advice, you know, once a week, every Friday before you leave for the weekend, send your boss the three things you accomplished that week.

I don't like that.

And the reason I don't like that is because, all right, the first time it's nice.

The second time it's nice.

By the third time, it's noise.

I am now expecting an email from you every week.

And I'm expecting to see exactly three things.

Maybe you did two things and you had to fish for a third thing, right?

So it very quickly becomes noise.

And after a while, they probably won't even open it.

Instead, what I recommend is you send the email in real time, but there's some caveats to this.

You send an email and you say, Lisa, I just want to keep you up to date.

Here is what happened.

And you want to talk again about outcome and impact, not just output.

Here's what we did.

Here's what I did.

Here's what the team did.

And it saved us three days in the cycle.

It saved us $2 million.

What was the impact?
