Inc. magazine interviewed 37Signals Jason Fried about his typical workday. I love Jason´s approach in running the business and some of his philosophies. In todays rather hectic lifestyle it´s refreshing to hear someone like Jason, prefering to use the expression "less is less" instead of "less is more":

You could sum up Jason Fried's philosophy as "less is more." Except that he hates that expression, because, he says, it still "implies that more is better." Fried prefers "less is less.":

We rarely have meetings. I hate them. They're a huge waste of time, and they're costly. It's not one hour; it's 10, because you pulled 10 people away from their real work. Plus, they chop your day into small bits, so you have only 20 minutes of free time here or 45 minutes there. Creative people need unstructured time to get in the zone. You can't do that in 20 minutes.
