How do you get better at retro without burning out?

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. You will learn more from a simple version repeated three times than from a perfect plan you never start.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Hope this helps!

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 7 months. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.

Source: mostly hard-won experience and comparing notes with people who stuck with it.

Respectfully, I see it the other way.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.

I was going to disagree, but your second sentence got me.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Beautifully concise.
