I’m pretty sure if you swap “the 4 questions you should stop asking” every week for these 4 moderately different questions to ask every week then you’re going to end up in the same place of disinterest 3 months down the line.
It’s better either to vary the one-on-ones a lot (you know, actually think about what you want to get out of the meeting before it starts, and ask appropriate questions) and/or to just back off them until it’s a useful meeting. This might vary by individual - some people feel better with a lot of facetime, and once a week is appropriate. Other people hate one-on-ones, come in defensive and wanting it to be over already, and would much rather you checked in with them every month - you might actually get a good conversation that way.
