Using lots of different software, and the non-stop learning of the first couple of weeks Nov 13, 2018

Date = Today. My Thoughts on Managing Time Oct 05, 2018

Team Review & OKR setting Sep 05, 2018

Working at Ideas2life is a disease Aug 04, 2017

Balancing a Maker’s and a Business Schedule Jul 25, 2017

It would be really horrible though if we added great people to the team, but never allowed them the time to go into the slow thinking – creative mode. That’s something that has been central to our team culture from day one, as we tried to build strong communication channels....
