#53The problem with these kind of articles is that they focus only on the "one-time off" and then never talk about how sustainable the productivity increase really is. If this is to be a social experiment, it needs to be done on a longer term like a month or something. Anything less that is just anecdotal.

#54As a productivity system, this is idiotic. As a blog post that serves as link-bait, it is GENIUS. ...which is to say, I think it excelled at the REAL goal. ;-)

Interesting, is this legal? At first I thought it wouldn't be, but then I realized that an investor relationship might not be one of the relationships protected by workplace sexual harassment laws.
Er... "single founders" as in "only one founder", as opposed to "two founders or more".
