Every other Wednesday, the sprint ends.
Every other Wednesday, I facilitate about 4 hours of meetings. That's with the design team, the development team, the client, and a host of hangers-on.
Every other Wednesday, I wear myself out.
Every other Thursday, I am essentially useless. Emotionally drained, with difficulty focusing and sometimes keeping my eyes open.
This is one of those Thursdays.
Tell me something interesting.

I find my Sprint Planning day to be my most dreaded in anticipation, but also my most productive feeling days. I actually mostly feel elevated after them, unless there's something that goes very wrong, or the dev team can't articulate their work transparently. I have them every week as I am the PO of two alternating dev teams working two different products.
