Become a Team of One
One of the greatest tools I ever took from my years in software wasn’t code…
it was the daily standup.
Every morning, the team would gather and answer three questions:
1. What did you accomplish yesterday?
2. What got in the way?
3. What outcomes are you committed to today?
Simple.
Clear.
Zero fluff.
It kept everyone aligned, kept blocks visible, and kept momentum steady.
But the real magic was the middle question, “What got in the way?”
That’s where breakthroughs happened.
That’s where someone on the team would say,
“Oh, I’ve solved that before. Here’s the shortcut.”
And suddenly a problem that could’ve eaten two days…
evaporated in two minutes.
I use this rhythm with my team now.
I use it on group coaching calls.
But here’s the part nobody teaches you:
You can use it with yourself.
Every morning, run your own standup.
Journal it.
Say it out loud.
Doesn’t matter.
What matters is getting the thinking out of your head
and into the real world..
Because once it’s written down, the fog lifts.
You move from being “inside” the problem to seeing it from above.
That’s distributed cognition.
And it’s one of the best operating systems a founder can install.
You don’t need more motivation.
You need a daily moment of clarity.
A check-in.
A reset.
A rhythm.
The agile mindset wasn’t built for software.
It was built for humans trying to move fast in complex environments.
Founders need it more than anyone.
