Re:Employee Onboarding Is Broken. Here’s How to Fix It on Tuesday June 19, 2018 @12:47PM (#17348241)
It still blows my mind that a lot of the higher ups don't even THINK about optimising their onboarding system. Even if it's small changes, here and there, as time progresses.
Got it. Apologies about that.

Oooooh, good one. It's hard to let go of your baby! LOL! And even I'm learning, and have heard other founders say, "I can't work IN my business for it to grow, I have to work ON my business". And it does suck a little that you can't do the "fun" work, but it's pretty awesome to see your baby growing and thriving.

DAMN RIGHT, Tina! And it's one thing to say you want to build culture, but it's another thing to actually do it - and do it effectively. Take a note from Gary Vee and talk to your people for 10 minutes every quarter and give a shit. It WORKS.
"Do a sanity check". Probably one of the most important things that is often overlooked.
Re:Time Blocking for Developers: A Guide to Productivity on Monday April 30, 2018 @11:09PM (#16964330)
The time blocking is so smart. Some of the best entrepreneurs I follow, do this. Tim Ferriss for example, sees people and does phone calls on Thursdays ONLY. Ramit Sethi and Noah Kagan, both block off one full day for just reading articles and catching up on their industry.

And I feel the author when they say that they CAN NOT break away from their writing when they have a good rhythm going on. I've lost DAYS when I'm in my rhythm and nothing can pull me out until I'm done.

I wouldn't even just say 'value', but 'strategy' is becoming the major differentiator. I was just telling someone today that there is a difference between someone who gives advice and someone who gives actual strategy. The latter is a blueprint, while the former is 'rah-rah' imho.
