They can be draining.
Or they can be invigorating.
It all depends on the energy you bring to the session.
How you start, sets the tone for the day, for what you want to do and accomplish and get done.
Contributing is key, the team doesn’t need a silent watcher doing other work.
If you are remote, get ready to be on your camera, get ready to be engaged.
Stepping out for a few minutes for that oh-so-glorious cup of tea is encouraged, but otherwise, stay on board.
You can’t win every battle, choose the ones that matter most.
And most importantly, and always the toughest, listen, listen well.
