#10 It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work by Jason, David

Our biggest takeaway for startup culture has been putting boundaries on our company and employee’s time.

With clear expectations surrounding when founders and employees can communicate it makes it easier to do work at work and then have mental breathing room once work is over. It’s increased employee focus and overall professionalism within our company.
