Proactive EOD summary emails worked. Manager had nothing to check on. Took about 3 weeks before they backed off.

The EOD update strategy is my go-to with every manager. It removes anxiety on both sides. Simple and effective.

Sometimes micromanagers are anxious, not controlling. Give them visibility and the anxiety, and the micromanagement, goes down.
