Productivity & Goal Setting with Marc Andreesson

#216

The Observer Effect published an interesting interview with Marc Andreesson, partner at Andreesson Horowitz. The interview covers a lot of ground and includes some great insights into how Marc manages his productivity and goal setting on a weekly, monthly and annual basis. A standout thought for me from the interview is that it is better to "tune against a single goal as compared to trying to rethink the goals".
