It has huge implications. What is “exactly significant about this” bust is the prevention of multiple assassinations, kidnappings with planned torture, and multiple large coke smug…

Sorry to be a party pooper, but this is a non-existing thing (and a repost, btw). It’s true that we are taught to look over your shoulder when opening a car door, but to label it “…

Give and Take by Adam Grant - even after a few years, it still causes me to constantly reflect on my own actions’ motive and if they’re “otherish” or not. Getting Things Done - not…

As a bit of counterweight to all these "$5" replies: we paid about €7K for our logo - which is not a lot. I've been a logo designer myself, waaaay back, and have always known that …

There’s a thing between being entrepeneurship and working for a company: freelancing. It’s for those that feel no attachment to a company, but do have a very developed skill set or…

It totally depends on your business model. Is your expected ARPU 10, 100 or maybe 1M? I'd personally focus on a KPI that tells you something about how much your customers like your…

Always to fully silent, vibration off too. Watch is set to silent and vibrate, and I take it off between 6-8PM for family time. Do Not Disturb on the Watch is switched on when I go…

Letting go of the distinction between productivity and hours put in. I never ever believed there was correlation, and still it's hard. Coding just takes time, better get used to it…

I'd say discovery is an issue. I'd like to be able to instantly find a product/service that hooks into whatever my kids just discovered. It won't be used for long probably, so it's…

Annual, although I'd like to see some real life high volume SaaS numbers on churn comparing the two. We do non-recurring monthly and recurring annual as a in-between solution.

Some say all sound engineers are all failed musicians. And then some became coders. And then some became founders... Me and my co-founder regard our "ventures" into music as part o…

Never, not for a second. It's the investors that made it possible to go full time with our venture. We couldn't have done it without. Be happy. I sometimes hear founders regretting…

We reached out to everyone that ever did a review of a direct competitor within the last 4 years - we were very much last-to-market. About 10% actually did a review of us on launch…

The QC35. We have had several models in our office and the 35 has by far the best cancelling while retaining speech intelligibility. It's audible artifacs are more in the 300 Hz ra…

We did what was in hindsight a small launch. We put our app on Betalist first, got good response, redid a bunch of things, got it out on Product Hunt, got some more attention. Then…

VCs don't want teams, they want business cases that have shown to be scalable. Do you need your cofounder? Can your business continue without him/her? If so, continue to build out …

It's an inheritence of the famously low profit taxes. To make sure owners don't circumvent (the higher) income taxes by maximizing profit they have a compulsory salary or a managem…

Don't know anything about other EU countries than the Netherlands, but it's pretty easy over here. Just a matter of some paperwork by a notary, which will cost There's a big caveat…

The trick of "proper" GTD is not what to use, but what not: focus on eliminating inboxes. You've got too many. Triage everything that comes into your (e)mailbox, Slack, whatever. I…

Why don't you join that open source project as a dev? Contributing something meaningful to another one's project might bring you more than going through the hardship of wanting to …

I'd try working with a very strict system like Scrum, but you've got a pain point with the dailies. You could try "formalizing" dailies by having everyone writing down their progre…

or he might promote the guy to Chief Jesting Officer and put him in charge of company culture. He'd have my vote!

Isn't school roster scheduling NP-complete?

OmniFocus with Airmail and Slack. True, everything Omni is expensive but the sheer impact is has on my life is priceless. I found every other GTD app too limited.

Is POP still around? I thought that was a remnant of the "Dude, look at my a Pentium"-age. Is there even a way to work with POP in the current multiverse of connected devices?
