If you have to get up at 4am to get any work done, your workplace is broken. If you’re the CEO doing this, why aren’t you fixing your broken workplace rather than running away from it?
Accepting that work can’t happen at work is productivity bankruptcy. It’s time to restructure your processes and principles. Dump your toxic liabilities and invest in some healthy habits.
Allowing work to happen at work during normal work hours is the cornerstone of how we get so much done at Basecamp. How we can get by with 50-some employees while others need 3-5x that to service the same number of customers. It’s a productivity secret hiding in plain sight.

There are only two choices here!! Either we accept, and even encourage, all abuse coming from the leaders of companies we like, or those companies simply cannot exit. You don't like bosses abusing workers? NO ELECTRIC CARS FOR YOU! NO IPHONE FOR YOU.
There's of course also another way: We stop protecting abusive bosses from criticism, they learn that it becomes hard to raise money/hire smart people/get good press acting as an asshole, THEY WISE UP AND CHANGE THEIR WAYS ✨
It's beyond infantilizing to presume that smart people like Musk or Jobs were at once both so capable of learning and adapting in business and technology, but utterly incapable of changing their abusive workplace behavior.

Predictim‘s black-box algorithm analyzes babysitters‘ social media accounts, reducing them to a single fit score. Beyond disgusting. Downright evil.

Social media algorithms prod you to be the worst/fake you can be, hiring algorithms reject you for it. washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
Just listen to the Predictum CEO’s approach to the privacy issue with invading every single social-media account of the babysitters: “If we ever leaked a babysitter’s info, that would not be cool”.

Is this a joke? You couldn’t have drawn a more callous, stereotypical techbro.
But it gets worse. Listen to all the parents so eager to employ this unaccountable, hellscape of an algorithm: “100 percent of the parents are going to want to use this,” she added. “We all want the perfect babysitter.”

1/ I’m very passionate about #books. Every opportunity I get I try to buy some more books for my #antilibrary. However, over the last year, I have changed how I read books. I’d like to share the short story and process in the following thread:
2/ Story: I felt like I was stagnating. I read a lot but I didn’t think I read well. I’d forget almost all of what I read besides a few key points in a fairly short period of time. Being in fields that require consistent learning, I felt I needed to change my approach.
3/ I also researched retainment of learning and found the Ebbinghaus Curve otherwise known as the Forgetting Curve: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgettin…

Let's start our #GEMChats this week. The topic of this week is #student #entrepreneurship!

We'll discuss these three factors in the poll options below as well as replies to the poll 🧐🧐🧐 Let's take this forward!
#Students? And #entrepreneurship? Is that even a good combination?

Especially when you read that the famous student entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are all dropouts!!!

Can students not only run a #business while studying but also be #successful at it?
Taking a different perspective at this is that while these billionaires are college dropouts, the #idea for the #business all came about when they were in #college! As a young #student, your ideas have a chance at being fresh and can be developed through stringent planning!

0/ So I have a #strategy quiz tomorrow, and while making notes I thought I will create a #tweetstorm with the major interesting take aways.

I am doing this coz it is also a great way for me to learn (as mentioned by @farnamstreet in this blog: fs.blog/2012/04/learn-…)
1/ A company can outperform rivals only if it can establish a difference that it can preserve. It must deliver greater value to customers (cost advantage) or create comparable value at a lower cost (differentiation), or do both.
2/ Activities are the basic units of competitive advantage.
