Tips on how to effectively lead recurring 3x week scrum style calls? I feel like I become scatterbrained as soon as the call starts and I just end up talking in circles…

Just go around the horn and see if they have completed something that allows another team member/work stream to move forward with that object. Second question is are they blocked with anything, if yes, ask what they need (DO NOT TALK THROUGH THE SOLUTION DURING THE SCRUM) and take not of the follow up required in your end. If not blocked, onto the next. Scrums should highlight completed items that other impacted areas care about and highlight blockers, not be a status update.

We mixed it up a little bit. Focusing on the work and not the individual.

- kanban board style template - holy bible for scrum stand ups. Even teams has it now.
- status of to be done and doing items
- impediments and resolution decisions (not solutioning) but next steps to resolve
- anyone else have anything that is stuck or waiting on someone else

Rinse and repeat.

This is a good list. I’d add try avoid status that is reported as a percentage of complete because they are typically BS numbers.

I really like the point of focusing on the object/feature rather than person assigned to it.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
