December is my month without social networks (but WhatsApp because I have a family 🤣) I ve been doing this for 5 years and it’s painful and refreshing at the same time. Painful because you notice the addiction, refreshing because you use the extra time on other interesting things. The main problem this year is that I’m already using most of my willpower on eating well, it’s still a pain after 3 months and I need to control myself when I see any kind of unhealthy food. That’s on top of starting up a company and other personal shit going on. I write this now because having some days of mental prep are fine, also have the chance to talk to other people who do something similar. I’m doing it anyway, I may set a different focus on the things I do this year but it worths



I'm often asked what it looks like to pitch an idea internally at 37signals. Since we don't do decks, or meetings, or long presentations, how is an idea actually presented? Very simply. As a tight, concise write-up published as a document in Basecamp. A few hundred words. Sometimes with a low-fi sketch or two to drive a point home visually. For example, we recently added a journal to HEY Calendar so people could log their thoughts, attached to a day. This was the official pitch that @bb wrote up, and published to the Product Strategy project. public.3.basecamp.com/p/o2BC3gFt7Sj6… You'll notice there's not much there. Exactly. Pitches are directional ideas with a few boundaries to hold it together. Other than that, the team that's eventually going to build the feature has all the latitude they need to figure out all the implementation and design details that matter. You figure out the work by doing the work. At 37signals, features are built and managed primarily by two people: One designer and one programmer. They run their own show, with occasional guidance, review, and editing from the outside when the time is right. And this is the public announcement of the actual feature we shipped it: updates.37signals.com/post/new-in-he… There's more I can say, but would rather drive the discussion through questions you might have. Chime in and I'll respond here.

From the Mr Beast "how to work here" guide. Interesting how this mindset towards consultants is radically different than how Gen X/Boomers see them.
