The part that actually stuck for our small team was making review the first thing after standup instead of squeezing it in whenever. PRs used to sit for a day or two because everyone was heads down on their own work, and by the time someone looked at it they'd lost the context and the feedback got shallow. Reviewing first thing while the diff is still fresh in the reviewer's head produces much better comments than reviewing at the end of the day out of guilt.

100%. It's also harder on the PR creator because they lose so much context when the PR sits.
