I just finished reading Rework, written by 37Signals founders Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. This book is a highly recommended read for everyone, especially team leads, startup founders, UX designers, and businesspersons.
For the next few weeks, I will post short blog posts summarizing my understanding of the book. I still recommend you to read it for yourself. It is a quick read. I finished reading it in about 4-5 sittings. I could have finished in 1 sitting of about 4-5 hours in length (I am a slow reader); however, I didn't have the luxury of time. For a quick summary, read the back of the book, as pictured below.
- ASAP is poison
- Underdo the competition
- Meetings are toxic
- Fire the workaholics
- Emulate drug dealers
- Pick a fight
- Planning is guessing
- Inspiration is perishable
