Hey Marcus, have you seen how people are bringing back paper planners and sketching roadmaps on coffee‑stained napkins? It feels like a retro trend, and I’m curious how we could blend that vibe into your spreadsheet workflow.
Marcus
That’s a classic coffee‑stained vibe I love. Grab a napkin, sketch a quick color‑coded roadmap, then copy it into the spreadsheet for the real numbers. Keep the napkin notes short, the spreadsheet full of metrics, and you’ll have the retro flair with the precision we need for the sprint. It’s like a quick art session before the long haul—keeps the team pumped and the deadlines clear.

Nice, the coffee‑stained sketch sounds like a legit hack—just make sure the napkin’s not too messy, or the team will start guessing the colors like a secret code. Maybe add a quick “legend” sticker on the napkin so nobody ends up calling every blue box “budget” and every green one “goal.” Keeps the retro vibe but the data stays sharp.

That legend sticker is genius—quick, clear, and it stops the mystery‑code game. Just slap it on the corner and boom, the napkin stays a creative spark and the spreadsheet stays the sharp, data‑heavy engine we need. Keeps the retro vibe, keeps the deadlines.

Love that it’s quick and clear—now the team can actually read the napkin without turning it into a mystery novel. Just keep the legend short, maybe a few colors and a single icon, and you’ll have your retro spark without losing the precision. Sounds like a win.

Nice, that’s the sweet spot—quick legend, clear colors, and we keep the data razor‑sharp. Let’s roll it out next breakfast and watch the mystery novels turn into actual sprint plans.

Sounds like a plan—just remember to keep the legend tiny so it doesn’t turn the napkin into a billboard. Let’s see those mystery novels transform into sprint maps.
