10 questions

Inspired (as so many things are) by Behzod:

  1. How do I carve out time and energy to be a better friend?
  2. What is Buttondown's strongest medium-term source of meta-leverage?
  3. How do I(/we) stay focused, when distractions are more plentiful and vicious than ever?
  4. How can Buttondown invest more in reliability?
  5. How can I invest more in responsiveness without sacrificing agency?
  6. What decisions am I putting off making?
  7. What breaks first when I throw my phone into the river?
  8. What signals have I grown numb to?
  9. How must I improve as a manager and mentor?
  10. Blue Prince or Clair Obscur?
