We built the quiet tool we wanted to use ourselves.
Twenty-six people in Tokyo, Lisbon and Toronto, handing off to each other every day with the product we make.
In 2023 our team of eleven spent the first hour of every day catching up.
Four words we build by.
Twenty-six people in three time zones, handing off to each other.
Less to read. More of the morning back.
Quiet, in their words.
I used to start the day with 300 unread. Now I start it with six lines and a coffee.
The sources are the point. I can forward a line to my CEO and she can check it herself.
Quiet hours gave me my afternoons back. The two things that came through actually needed me.
Our Osaka and Lisbon teams finally overlap, even though they never meet on a call.
We turned it on for 40 people on a Thursday. By Monday nobody asked for the weekly status meeting.
It says “I couldn't find that” when it can't. That is why I trust the rest of it.
Try one quiet morning. Keep it if it gives you back an hour.
Tomorrow at 07:00, one quiet page.
Connect two sources in four minutes. Your first brief arrives tomorrow morning, before the first meeting.
