Oof. I had to do the double daily standup thing once. In addition to the retros, calls with subject matter experts, company meetings, etc. By the time we could actually get started on sprint work, and do a couple hours work here and there between meetings, it was almost sprint deadline already. I didn't even bother with pulling data from Jira and trying to make a point that way. It wasn't necessary. I just quite honestly gave my update in my second standup "No progress since the last meeting because I've been in meetings since then." Some people were a little rankled by that honesty. But eventually they got the point and scrapped that second hour of standup and some of the other meetings. That helped significantly.
