Early morning

Scrum daily stand-up meeting

• Strive to talk less than 2 minutes.
• Situation reports for yesterday - what I have achieved, be it reviews, story implementation, bugs fixes, etc.
• Briefly announcing my targets for today: which JIRA tickets or 2nd level support issues that I might need to solve.
• Occasionally: asking present colleagues 1 or 2 questions on certain matters.

Coffee

• 1 cup of double cappuccino with 1 piece of stavia tablet.
• Brought back to my work desk.
• Read my tickets on JIRA for the current sprint.
• Wrote the today's TODO's on one Post-It, no more, no less. Stick it to the bottom panel of my main monitor.

Firing up the machine

Before lunch

Actual works

• Coding, or
• Part 1 of 2nd level support issues: by analyzing log entries of related processes on remote servers or database entries, before executing appropriate measures.

After lunch

Continuing actual works

• Coffee (see above), then
