# Mitch Tankersley — Daily Progress Tracker
|
||
|
||
## About
|
||
|
||
Mitch Tankersley is an employee at MPM (Message Point Media) currently operating under **diminished autonomy** — a structured accountability period requiring daily check-in and check-out reporting to Jason.
|
||
|
||
**Manager:** Jason (jason@messagepoint.tv)
|
||
**Status:** Diminished autonomy — daily task accountability required
|
||
**Tracker started:** 2026-05-28
|
||
|
||
**Reporting method:** Mitch reports his check-ins and check-outs directly to Jason via **Google Chat**. Jason logs all entries here as his direct supervisor — Mitch does not write to this file himself.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Working Framework
|
||
|
||
Condensed from the supervisor's "Moving Forward" document (MPM internal, confidential). Defines the terms of the diminished-autonomy period.
|
||
|
||
### Schedule
|
||
- In-office Monday–Friday, **9:00 AM – 6:00 PM**. No remote work under any circumstance.
|
||
- Any absence during business hours requires advance supervisor approval and is recorded as PTO.
|
||
- Exception: authorized out-of-town deployments coordinated through Finance.
|
||
|
||
### Daily Check-In (Start & End of Day)
|
||
- **Start of day:** Message supervisor with priorities before starting work.
|
||
- **End of day:** Wrap message with accomplishments — include links, artifacts, or photos where possible. "If you built it, show it."
|
||
- Suggested templates:
|
||
- **SOD** — "Morning. Today: [1] [task] · [2] [task] · [3] [task]. Blockers: [none / note]"
|
||
- **EOD** — "Done for the day. Completed: [item — link or pic]. In progress: [item, where I left off]. Tomorrow: [carry-forward]. Artifacts: [attach or link anything produced]"
|
||
|
||
### Company Vehicle (interim — pending purchase completion)
|
||
- Business use only; no personal use.
|
||
- Pay for fuel out of pocket; submit business miles for reimbursement at the standard IRS mileage rate.
|
||
- Keep a mileage log — date, destination, business purpose, miles.
|
||
- Once vehicle purchase is finalized, terms convert to the loan agreement.
|
||
|
||
### Spending & Expenses
|
||
- Restricted Spend card with Finance-managed limits.
|
||
- Approval required before purchasing — text Tiffany or Jason for fast turnaround.
|
||
- Amazon under $[limit TBD]: no approval needed; use company shared payment method.
|
||
- **Itemized receipts — no exceptions.** Every purchase requires an itemized receipt showing exactly what was bought; a total-only receipt is not sufficient. Missing or non-itemized receipts result in the pre-paid card not being replenished, or the amount deducted directly from his paycheck to replenish it.
|
||
|
||
### Travel Coordination
|
||
- All airfare, lodging, and vehicle rentals booked directly by MPM Finance.
|
||
- Submit travel needs to Finance at least **48 hours in advance**.
|
||
- All travel spend via Ramp pre-paid card — itemized receipts required (see Spending).
|
||
- Standard in-office schedule resumes immediately upon return to Birmingham.
|
||
|
||
### Systems & Credentials
|
||
- All accounts, software licenses, subscriptions, and credentials are MPM property at all times.
|
||
- Work with Jason to move all company-related accounts and services to a company payment method.
|
||
- Document all logins and passwords in Shared Apple Passwords.
|
||
- Access is subject to review, reassignment, or revocation at management's discretion without advance notice.
|
||
|
||
### Knowledge Transfer & Documentation
|
||
- Active documentation of all systems, processes, and integrations he owns or manages.
|
||
- Use Plaud to record walkthroughs and process notes — reduces overhead of writing from scratch.
|
||
- Coordinate with Jason on documentation priorities, format, and handoff.
|
||
- Junior shadow oversight of work product is in effect.
|
||
|
||
### Path Forward
|
||
- Every **90 days of clean performance** is an automatic step toward restored autonomy (flexibility, trust, discretion over time and tools). [[cpas]]

## Instructions for Daily Entries
|
||
|
||
Each workday requires two entries: a **Morning Check-In** and an **End-of-Shift Check-Out**.
|
||
|
||
### Morning Check-In (start of shift)
|
||
Mitch submits the tasks he **plans** to work on that day before beginning work.
|
||
|
||
Format:
|
||
```
|
||
### YYYY-MM-DD — Check-In
|
||
**Time:** HH:MM AM/PM
|
||
**Planned Tasks:**
|
||
- [ ] Task description
|

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### End-of-Shift Check-Out (end of shift)
|
||
Mitch submits the tasks he **actually made progress on** before leaving.
|
||
|
||
Format:
|
||
```
|
||
### YYYY-MM-DD — Check-Out
|
||
**Time:** HH:MM AM/PM
|
||

|
||

## Daily Log
|
||
|
||
### 2026-05-28 — Check-Out
|
||
**Time:** End of shift
|
||
**Progress Made:**
|
||
- [x] Mobile screen mounting patterns — completed
|
||
- [-] Tucson 3D prints — in progress, status unknown
|
||
**Notes:** Reported via Google Chat to Jason.
|
||
|
||
### 2026-05-29 — Check-In
|
||
**Status:** Never submitted. No morning check-in received.
|
||
|
||
### 2026-05-29 — Check-Out
|
||
**Time:** End of shift
|
||
**Progress Made:**
|
||
- [-] Tucson 3D prints — still in progress. Mitch reports it is "a very difficult print, consuming my time, prompting redesign. Trying to improve final result." No other updates given.
|
||
**Notes:** No morning check-in was submitted for this date.
|
||
|
||
**Manager assessment (Jason):** This appears to be an inefficient use of time. Tucson is a one-off project with no real gain versus simply outsourcing the work. Continued in-house iteration/redesign is not justified by the payoff.
