If I know that I have a meeting in 30 minutes, and the next thing I'd normally do would require at least an hour of interrupted, concentrated work, my only option is to piss about on the Internet for the next half hour. If the only purpose of a daily standup is for people to say “yup, everything's going fine here” or “I'm stuck, I need help”, then don't have it be a synchronous thing; instead, assume that people are doing fine, and make sure that there are ways for people who need help, to get help, at any time during the day.
