I used to dread morning standups. They’d drag on for 30 minutes, and half the team would zone out. So I built a simple Notion template to replace them.
Each morning, team members fill out three fields: what I did yesterday, what I’ll do today, and any blockers. That’s it. We read each other’s updates asynchronously.
The result? Shorter meetings (we now meet only twice a week) and fewer interruptions. People can focus on deep work without constant check-ins.
If your team feels scattered, try this approach. It’s not about more process — it’s about the right process.
