When I first sign on, I check through my unread messages (I'm an inbox-zero guy! I generally do have 2-5 "unread" emails and slacks that I have read, but need to keep the reminder on to reply) and check on our topline metrics to get a sense of the day’s needs. Maybe there’s an engineer that needs clarification on a spec I wrote, maybe there’s been a dip in traffic following a recent release, or maybe someone from leadership is asking for a status update on the launch timeline for a new feature. I take inventory of all these things to plan out my day.

At 10:30 I join our daily standup with the engineering team to get an understanding of what all of the engineers are working on. This is where I can flag high priority tickets or bug reports in [ClickUp](https://clickup.com). It's also where I can help unblock the engineering team, if say, they’re waiting on feedback from another team (this often comes up with ads related work, which is QA’d by our ad operations team).

After standup, I follow up on my morning messages and anything that came up during standup. I think of this as my "unblocking time” where I try to clear up any confusion between teams and make sure everyone has what they need for the day.
