  e rough ideas internally but these aren’t shared externally. Even internally they’re not set in stone or written down. Think about what’s being done now and maybe what’s next. You set expectations too soon and things changed. Don’t want to be boxed into d

  • Break big projects into as many small projects. 2 week rule.
  • A spec doc contains 1000 yes’es. Leads to an illusion of agreement.
  • 5 more annotations...
  • • Don’t worry too much about what might happen. Focus on today.
    • Average work day has been traded in for work moments.
    • Reinvest in the things that don’t change.
    • There are only two things whose soul purpose is to grow forever: business & tumors.
    • 13. Give up on hard problems - there is nothing wrong with being lazy. There is an abundance of easy problems that need to be solved. The really hard problems are probably better left to your competitors.

  • Momentum
  • Has its hands in just about everything and is incredibly important.
  • 31 more annotations...
  • • Long projects eat at you and you’re not even looking to do good stuff you just want to finish things and they don’t turn out well.
    • Create a situation where projects are short and there’s excitement and it’s a short 2 week project and it leaves people in excited mode.
    • 2 week rule.
    • Planning is Vastly Overrated
    • 37Signals doesnt do roadmaps, specs, projections.
    • Don’t want to be boxed into decisions you made 18 years ago.
    • Get rid of abstractions
    • Focus on what’s real right now.
    • Don’t worry about the things you might do.
    • Decisions are temporary
    • They think that what they decide today has to be that way forever.
    • Optimize for now. Don’t worry too much about what might happen. Focus on today.
    • Red Flag Words
    • Interruption is the enemy of productivity
    • Proximity invites collaboration.
    • “Average work day has been traded in for work moments.”
    • Strategy: on Thursdays nobody talks to each other. Passive collaboration instead of active collaboration. If someone is busy they can put it aside and come to it when they’re ready. Interruption points screw your days up.
    • Focus on what doesn’t change
    • Focus on what doesn’t change and think about the things that matter today and will matter 10 years from now.
    • Reinvest in the things that don’t change.
    • Worrying about things that don’t matter yet
    • ason finds that it’s better to sketch with a sharpie rather than a pen. With a sharpie you can’t get lost in the detail. You don’t want to worry about the details too early.
    • The longer it takes to develop something the less likely you’ll launch it.
    • Underdoing
    • Solve the simple problems because the big guys who have all the money won’t even notice you - you’re in a market they’ve already moved in.
    • Find the right size
    • Oxford University is one of the world’s best universities. Why aren’t there tons of them? Because the Oxford that exists is the right size.
    • Follow the Chefs
    • Always be Questioning:
    • Give up on hard problems
    • Work less

  5. Red Flag Words - They chat a lot and do a lot of collaboration by typing. The more they collaborate the more they use certain words. The words don’t sound that dangerous to begin with: “need”, “can’t”, “everyone”, “easy”, “nobody”. “We need this featur
