Daily Routine

As a distributed team, we highly value clear expectations and communication regarding what we are doing.

Clear communication keeps the whole team informed of activity and gives Support Leadership a simple way to know what’s happening at any given time.

Here’s a general overview of what is expected throughout the day. Any significant deviation from this should be discussed with the team.

Login to Slack and announce that we’re starting our day (at-mentioning your team is not necessary for larger teams, but smaller teams may choose to.)
Start the day with a 30-40 minute Mental Energy Kickoff – report in the appropriate slack channel what we accomplished (threaded on the “hello!” message from earlier)
Unassigned/Assigned – always communicate in #support whenever we are switching between Docs, or Unassigned, or Assigned
- If it’s before 5:00 AM Pacific, check on Unassigned, If it’s out of control, get it in control. Otherwise, get as much Assigned done as we can until 5:00 AM Pacific.
- At 5:00 AM Pacific, work on Unassigned.
- Throughout the rest of our Priority Support time, prioritize first response times, and resolving Assigned tickets.
Breaks – Announce our breaks and when we’ll be back. Eat, walk, or do something that gives us a MENTAL/PHYSICAL break away from the computer. Break length is not as important as communicating when we’ll be back, and making sure we are working enough hours total each day.
Throughout our day, do our #QueueHealthHabits. This is particularly important to do before we move into “Decompress Time”.
30 Minutes before the end of our day, do something productive outside of Priority Support as Decompress Time.
