Jason Fried quotes on sanity

These “Nobody can leave the room (or go home) until we figure this out” declarations you hear in business from time to time make it *harder* to find the solution, not easier. Stepping away, and sleeping on it, is a better approach. Perspective + rest is a friend, not a foe.

I’m not busy, I'm working.

Some people who love their job will say “my job doesn’t feel like work.” I’ve always found it odd to suggest work should feel bad, and that it’s a good thing to avoid something that “feels like work”. For me, “I love that my job feels like work”. Doesn’t mean I love every day.

80 hour weeks make room for waste, not work.

You know what it’s called when your job doesn’t feel like work? It’s called not working! And hopefully you feel that every single day after you’ve put in about 8 hours of actual work!

“Crunch time” isn’t about a lack of time, it’s about unreasonable expectations. Another two weeks won’t solve that. Neither will another month.
