Episode Details

When you're mid-move with a one-year-old and no family nearby, a weekly planning meeting can't keep up with hourly changes. This episode explores how the software industry's daily stand-up — fifteen minutes, three questions, standing up — solves exactly that cadence mismatch. We dig into the research on what makes meetings work (the 46% who say they're too long) and how a talking stick, parking lot, and explicit off-ramp can turn a household coordination nightmare into a lightweight tool that reduces cognitive load instead of adding to it.
