Daily standups: the productivity killer no one talks about.
Standups are a really effective way to waste everyones mornings and a great tool to make sure no real work gets done until after lunch. I used to love them (and most managers do, too).
Replace standups by a super simple daily note that everyone drops into a shared chat, like Slack. You'll have all the relevant info in one place, and it's a great way to ask follow up questions and celebrate progress.
And as an aside: in some specific cases and specifically challenging projects, we actually set up a recurring check in meeting. But those are short term, only with the people working on the project and we schedule them mostly right before or right after lunch to keep those long stretches of time available to the team.
What's your excuse to keep doing those daily meetings?

We believe we're in the middle of a huge shift in how we get work done: we all experience the lack of time to focus. In just two years we've seen a radical transformation of how and where we work.

One of best features got even better: Meet now supports having a default meeting duration and time window, which in most chases you don't need to change.
Scheduling a meeting is just a couple of keystrokes away, and you don't even need to open your colleagues' calendars.

📹 During yesterday's meeting @dcasn demo'd the month view he's been working on.
There are a lot of lovely details that go into a seemingly small feature. We thought it was cool to show you these details and share a recording of the meeting.
LMK what you think.

We believe scheduling is faster and better when done with a little help from our scheduling engine. 💨
A few improvements to Meet:
- Support for custom durations
- Can now find a time before, after or on a specific date
- ASAP finds the earliest, mutually available, slot

Yup you heard that right, we removed the paid task limit for personal workspaces, only teams pay for Rise.
Also, some big new features are coming to both the calendar and project management in Rise, stay tuned 📺
This update is huge! Also completely free for personal use! At this point I think I will switch definitely to Rise.
One question for task description is it difficult to implement markdown?

🛠 Custom fields are here!
Our most powerful addition to projects to date is now live: custom fields. You can now define a set of fields for a project to help you structure and organize projects and tasks in any way you want.
Use fields to store text, numbers, dates and links, and you're also able to group by custom fields to build the view that fits your needs.
Every project has different requirements and with this we unlock the exact fields that help stay organized!

This is requested by a lot of you. 😊
By default Rise will copy over any event from your personal calendar to your work calendar, but now you can change it so it will only block events that happen during your working times.

Especially nifty to those who do time blocking: you can now duplicate events by pressing the option key and then dragging an event.
You only need to press option during the initial click to duplicate an event.
