Another helpful thread. Raising, it's a process.

[Yohei @yoheinakajima]

I’m an outbound focused VC, meaning I reach out to most of the founders I talk to, not the other way around.

A lot of people ask me about my process. It’s not a secret. Here it is 👇

Do norms around this kind of thing really work?

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Study of 5,000 people hearing men & women interrupt with identical scripts:

Men judged women as ruder, colder, dumber. Women showed no gender bias.

Every team needs clear norms—are interruptions signs of engagement or disrespect?—applied to every member

Yes! One task at a time.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A persistent enemy of excellence is fragmented attention.

On average, we check email 74x/day and switch tasks every 10min.

Computers are made for parallel processing. Humans are better at serial processing.

2021 resolution: focus on one task at a time.
