Before you take some extended time-off or head out for your next vacation, use this template to assign tasks to teammates who’ve kindly agreed to help you hold down the fort while you’re away. It’s like having a personal assistant! Once you’ve set up Slack and Coda automations, this doc sends out two Slack notifications—one reminder before a task is due, and another on the due date.

Remember to drain the water out before putting it back in the pot so roots are happily aerated!
