It’s entirely your responsibility to make your dreams come true. - Jason Fried

One of the secret benefits of hiring remote workers is that the work itself becomes the yardstick to judge someone’s performance.

The person making the pitch has presumably put a lot of time, thought, and energy into gathering their thoughts and presenting them clearly to an audience. But the rest of the people in the room are asked to react. Not absorb, not think it over, not consider — just react. Knee-jerk it. That’s no way to treat fragile new ideas.

If you can’t fit everything you want to do within 40 hours per week, you need to get better at picking what to do, not work longer hours.
