it’s about over analyzing your current tasks and over describing common minutiae.
instead of: “I worked on restoring a database connection”
it becomes: “I worked with the DBAs, networking, and OpSec to restore the connection and ensure that connectivity remains up and secure. I also plan on working on adding proper monitoring to alert when this happens again. I should be done in a few days.”
then in a few days it becomes: “ran into scheduling conflicts with the monitoring team and will need it push it out until next week. Until then I’ll continue the monitor the situation and let you know if anything new comes up.”
