Something I've seen for the first time at my current project is instead of a daily standup, there's a daily thread to report what you've been doing in Slack instead. And then as long as there's nothing people want to go over, the actual standup meeting is skipped. We sometimes go a 2-3 weeks without an actual stand up call. It's pretty nice. Even if not, the calls are only scheduled twice a week anyway.
Much better than the 20 person in-person daily standups in the conference room, better get there early if you want to have a chair, at 8:15am every day, like a previous job.

I found it stressful to write the summary of what I did yesterday in the morning because I’d been thinking about other things in the interim. I discovered the “life hack” of filling out my report in the afternoon at quitting time which makes me, from the viewpoint of everyone else, the first to report. I find it really easy to do and when I get in the morning I have a plan in front of me which helps me carry forward my momentum from the previous day.
