This is one of the most powerful habits I wish remote teams adopted more.
Documenting everything.
Not because you love writing things down for the sake of it.
But because clear, accessible documentation is what makes async work.
When decisions live in your head (or in some Slack Channel), people have to ask to catch up.
Which means more meetings. More repeating. More “Can you remind me where that stands?”
More/Better documentation means…
→ Everyone has the context they need
→ Teams move faster without waiting on a status update
→ Progress doesn’t pause when one person is offline
Async doesn’t mean you lose visibility. It means you gain clarity—without the meeting.
Because if your documentation does the talking, your team can get back to building.
