In my current team, we post our daily status on a slack channel: what we do yesterday and we are going to do today. We try to keep to one or two points. We have remote people so that works out well. Standup is optional. On Monday meetings, each person tell one thing that we are going to do. Sometimes it is two things but the point is to focus.

This is the way it should be.

Meetings should only be between business / leads to get scope onto canvas.

If I'm blocked I'll seek out the person who can most help me. I can easily find 5-10 minutes to write out a summary, but on my terms when I'm not in coding mode.

Now, I'm freelancing, likely to be team lead for the company assuming they get financing - and I keep taking notes and reading ways to organize better. We have a ton of work to do, it's a financial mobile app that has 0 tests on the api (I'm single-handedly running the API development Laravel + vue (for some web views)). Money is tight so I'm the only dev on web side and we have 1 ios dev.

The hope is to be full-time at this by Christmas w/ a 6 figure salary (my first +6 figures).
