I was reading ‘Mastering The Art of a Worry-Free Life‘, an article at the blog Dumb Little Man. You are stepped through how to deal with worry, ultimately resulting in an action plan. And here I am, thinking, “Huh… actually… Scrum kind of deals with that!”
By working on the stories of the current sprint, and focusing on getting those items to a state of done, you’re not thinking about other things. In a sense, you are staying in the moment (step 2 of 6 from the article).
Regarding an action plan – heck, Scrum steps you through setting up and managing a partially dynamic list that is prioritized.
So yeah, this dumb little man never thought of ScrumOfOne as a tool for dealing with worry.
