I’ve been staring at this screen for what seems like an hour. Instead of cranking out this article, I check the lineup for my fantasy baseball team, started reading a Teddy Roosevelt biography, watched a couple of Ted Ed videos, and now, I’m looking out the window. Yeah. I’m wasting a lot of time right […]
Most offices are inherently unproductive, or at least aren’t achieving their full productive potential. This isn’t the fault of any one person, nor is it immediately noticeable.

While office workers play the 9-to-5 game and founders juggle everything from board meetings to product launches, freelancers strive to maximize the ratio of dollars paid to hours worked. Founders might be the busiest people on the planet, but that doesn’t mean they’re the best at […]
