When working on Project S initially, I was present every day and the team came to expect that. Then I reduced my hours. This cause confusion since:

• other team members sent me questions every day, expecting me to be there
• team members expected support on certain days. Even though I had told them I was not working those days, I didn't emphasize it enough (e.g. by writing it on Slack and putting a "look here" emoji on it for added salience)

Lesson

When consulting, I should always announce what days I'll be on over Slack every week.
