SUMMARY - It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.


*By reading this summary, you will discover how to create a serene and healthy work atmosphere.


*You will also discover : that by eliminating distractions, you can do more than enough work in less than 40 hours a week; that meetings are useless: rather than reacting immediately to a given piece of information, write it down and study it; that it is perfectly acceptable to do nothing, because being efficient means being able to have free time, not working all the time; that a business is not a family: your work should never become more important than your family and your private life; that talent should not be plundered, but nurtured and cultivated: focus on the work your employees do rather than their degrees; that the best way to get more work done is by having less to do: you need to know how to say no in order to get some time back.


*How many times have you ever heard someone say, "It's crazy at work"? Maybe you've even said it yourself. But why all the craziness? Today, being overworked and exhausted have become symbols of success for many people. People work more, but accomplish less and less because they lose a lot of time in trivialities. Hours are wasted in meetings and distractions, in inefficient work practices. Chaos should not be the hallmark of the workspace and anxiety is not a prerequisite for progress. Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson are the leaders of Basecamp, an application for organizing projects and internal communications. They have created a healthy and sustainable company, and hope to be an inspiration for change. To date, running a company with serenity is unfortunately not the custom. Put toxic standards aside and finally recognize that when it's crazy at work, there's a problem!
