But first: what’s one process you’re still explaining over and over again to your team? (Hit reply and tell me…I’m collecting real examples for an upcoming anonymous teardown 👀)

Ok, let’s get into it…

Automate accountability (without killing autonomy)

Every founder says they want ownership, but ownership without systems turns into chaos fast.

If your remote team depends on manual follow-ups, one-off DMs, or you remembering everything, accountability becomes personal, not operational.

Automation flips that.
It creates an environment where work moves forward without the constant nudges!

Here’s how to start building systems that own the follow-up for you.

1/ Automate visibility

If you’re asking for status updates, you’re already too late.

Set up automated weekly check-ins (short async forms that ping every Monday)

Each team member fills out:

• What’s done

• What’s next

• What’s blocked

The data auto-updates your project tracker.

Result? Everyone’s aligned, and you never have to ask “what’s the status?” again.

(Tools: Notion forms, Tability, or a simple Google Form connected to Slack)

2/ Automate repetition

You shouldn’t explain the same process twice.

If your team keeps asking how to do something, automate that explanation.

Record it once, and make it reusable.

Tools that turn workflows into shareable visual guides (like AI-generated step-by-step videos) mean you can document processes once and delegate them forever.
