   The Way I Work: Jason Fried of 37Signals

   Do yourself a BIG favor and read this. Especially if you run a company. Here are my favorites:

   • I usually get to work between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Of the 16 people at the company, eight of us live here in Chicago. Employees come to the office if and when they feel like it, or else they work from home. I don’t believe in the 40-hour workweek, so we cut all that BS about being somewhere for a certain number of hours. I have no idea how many hours my employees work — I just know they get the work done.

   • In the software world, the first, second, and third versions of any product are really pretty good, because everyone can use them. Then companies start adding more and more stuff to keep their existing customers happy. But you end up dying with your customer base, because the software is too complicated for a newcomer. We keep our products simple. I’d rather have people grow out of our products, as long as more people are growing into them.

   • We rarely have meetings. I hate them. They’re a huge waste of time, and they’re costly. It’s not one hour; it’s 10, because you pulled 10 people away from their real work. Plus, they chop your day into small bits, so you have only 20 minutes of free time here or 45 minutes there. Creative people need unstructured time to get in the zone. You can’t do that in 20 minutes.

   • Very rarely is a question important enough to stop people from doing what they’re doing. Everything can wait a couple of hours, unless it is a true emergency. We want to get rid of interruption as much as we possibly can, because that’s the real enemy of productivity.

   • I hate it when businesses treat their employees like children. They block Facebook or YouTube because they want their employees to work eight hours a day. But instead of getting more productivity, you’re getting frustration. What’s the point? As long as the work gets done, I don’t care what people do all day.

   • We don’t have big, long-term plans, because they’re scary — and they’re usually wrong. Making massive decisions keeps people up at night — I don’t like to make those. The closer you can get to understanding what that next moment might be, the less worried you are. Most of the decisions we make are in the moment, on the fly, as we go.

   The Gorilla Group

   The underlying assumption of The Gorilla Group is very simple. If your close associates aspire to be a VP at the local bank then you are most likely to be a VP at the local bank as well. If you are surrounded by individuals that want to buy and sell companies, build the next Microsoft, or make the combustion engine obsolete, then your future lies as a business owner not an employee. Hence, The Gorilla Group exists as foundation of support to keep the Entrepreneur focused on the Brass Ring instead of the 30-year Gold Watch.

   Mom becomes iPhone app guru | cincinnati.com | Cincinnati.Com

   “To be honest, an iPhone mom gets the device first for herself but then realizes what a tool it is with her kids,” says Chang, who estimates that 41 percent of iPhone female owners with children download applications purely for their kids. “It has become almost like a pacifier for many kids and a great help to moms.”

    FREE, Google Maps and navigation offering on the Droid

    But most impressive has to be this awesome, free, Google Maps and navigation offering on the Droid. And we are led to believe that this will be available for free on all Android 2.0 handsets. Meaning? Instant death to many GPS equipment and mass manufacturers. Ok, maybe not instantaneous demise.

    Awesome Google navigation on Android 2.0

In computer science a byte (pronounced "bite", IPA: /baɪt/) is a unit of measurement of information storage, most often consisting of eight bits.

techbytes.biz is a unit of measurement of information about all things digitized from the perspective of Douglas Craver.

Doug is a tech marketing and operations action strategist and startup craftsman, entrepreneur, writer, huge Hammond B3 Organ fan - and any musician who can master one - and a great cook (I’m told I can, “throw it down”) based in Northeast Ohio.

I like to think of techbytes.biz as a utilitarian tumblelog and virtual workspace. I hope you enjoy your visit, comment and come back soon.
