ADVICE

Use Tiny Tools And Micro-Habits For Focus

  • Add simple browser and phone tools to reduce distraction and focus: Momentum for tabs and Simplenote for synced notes.
  • Use small daily habits like one push-up before showering to build consistent routines.
INSIGHT

Music On Repeat Facilitates Deep Work

  • Looping a familiar song or album reduces novelty and supports deep flow during creative work.
  • Matt chooses tracks he's heard thousands of times so the music becomes reliable background fuel.
ADVICE

Hire With Real Work Trials And Text Interviews

  • Hire for remote work by simulating actual job tasks and using paid trial projects under real conditions.
  • Use text-based interviews to reduce bias and judge asynchronous communication skills directly.
