As the year winds down, 37signals’ co-founders Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson join host Kimberly Rhodes to talk about the company's end-of-year routine. They explain their process for the last few weeks of the year that aren't part of a formal six-week cycle, and they share what they gain from this transitional period of "wandering."
Key Takeaways:
- 00:43 – The informal end of year process
- 05:24 – Self-directed work, bug fixes, and tying up loose ends
- 08:22 – Using the downtime for forward thinking and planning
- 12:43 – Viewing the year end as a shift to the next chapter rather than a fresh start
