Email in the Morning, Transparency, the Two-Pizza Rule, and Statistics – Vainolo’s Weekly Reading

Don’t Check Your Email in the Morning
Why do you check your email in the morning? Because something crucial may have happened overnight. Get over it. Most things are not urgent, and if they are, you won’t be able to handle them before you are sitting in your office. So you will only become anxious and get stressed. So stop it.
