The number one question I get is: how do I get my family to buy-in? 
Getting children to buy-in is the easiest thing you will do because they will love being asked their opinion and their feedback. 
The importance here is the follow-through. You have to actually take your children's input and feedback into consideration.

This can the hardest buy-in to get because your partner already has a way of doing things and may not be open to new ideas. 
 
Don't try to implement any new software.
Don't take on more projects than you can realistically complete.
Make your first sprint smaller than you think it needs to be.

Today, we are talking about how to manage team members with negative attitudes. Listen, we've all dealt with them before.  Heck, I've even been a team member with a negative attitude. It's no different at home. 
Here are my tips for managing it.
1. Make space for bad days
2. Ask how you can help them have a better day
3. Ask someone else to help them attack the problem
4. Use positive reinforcement
5. Go do something you'll both enjoy

Bullet journaling is something I picked up because of my forgetfulness and ADHD. Now, the minute I think of something, I pick up my bullet journal and jot it down. 
I also use it to track my habits and goals. 
I also use it to assign a day and a time to my to-dos so that I know that I'm actually achieving what I set out to do. 
Using my bullet journal also allows me to review and track my goals and habits at the end of the month.

New Years usually brings on discussions about goals and goal setting, but how do you set Agile goals? 
We need to be continually making progress towards our goals, whether the goals are big or small. 
Make sure to evaluate your progress at the end of the sprint and make adjustments in your plans as you're moving forward. 

Quiet time with my noise-canceling headphones.
