We spend 28% of our day on #emails and checking our inboxes 11 times an hour. Research by McKinsey Global Institute. I remember reading "The 4-Hour Workweek" where Tim Ferriss recommended to check emails every 4 hours at most. So hard to do, yet it does wonders for our #productivity blocks.

Using Eisenhower's urgent/important approach and having read Raj Jana's advice on #hiring... I came up with this "Hiring Decision Matrix" for first time #founders when deciding on your next / first hire. More info on how to use it: lnkd.in/ehu7RMg8 #hiringframework

Another lesson learned: check public holidays when planning a workshop. Working on your own business means that "days off" happen only then when you *choose* to take them. And public holidays are completely forgotten... 🙈🤷‍♀️ #Easterweekend #holiday #daysoff #founderlessons

Absolutely LOVE this approach from 3 co-founders of #OperationsNation - "a CEO on rotation". Each co-founder gets a go at being a CEO for 6 months to get a good sense + opportunity of taking over the direction of the business. Brilliant Ausrine Kersanskaite. #CEOonRotation #cofounders

I've just pre-ordered "The Startup Lexicon: Demystifying the everyday language of startups" book written by a good peer Ken Valledy of @Progressive_HQ. Who wouldn't want to read through a glossary of 200+ #startup terms and phrases? #startups #terms amazon.co.uk/dp/1912300761/…

"Taking the first step seems impossible when the gap between now and your desired outcome seems large." So #focus on the next step instead. If it’s writing a blog, focus on writing a good sentence first. “Tiny Thought” from FS newsletter. fs.blog/brain-food/oct…

In the town of Whittier, Alaska, almost everyone lives in one building. 90% of the town’s residents live in one 14-story building - that also houses a post office, shop, police station, health clinic, and a bed & breakfast. #akleg

i can’t remember the last time i got so much pleasure from listening to a podcast. tbh i’ve been feeling podcast-ed out but this interview feels like reading a magical realism book. i’m in love with this man and the beautiful way he describes the world thanks Inga Driksne 🙏🏽
