- Large organizations have complex onboarding processes with specialized software and multiple vendors.
- Startups operate with fewer resources, requiring employees to be frugal and lean in their approach.
- The Rolling Daily Work Tracker (RDWT) is a simple text file method for tracking tasks, with tasks rolling over to the next day if not completed.
- Version 1 of RDWT involves a single text file where tasks are added daily and marked as completed.
- Version 2 of RDWT splits tasks into separate files per date for better organization while maintaining searchability.
- The method proved effective for tracking work over time, even as the company grew and adopted more formal tools like Asana.
- Despite the availability of modern tools with AI integration, the simplicity of a text editor and a structured format can be sufficient for personal projects.
