    I have been seeing Jason name tossed around a lot on the nets. This was my first time seeing him do his thing. Let me tell you I am on board 100%. Great speaker and great points made in this video. I will be sharing it!

    Doesn’t like goals, but looks at his day and tries to get stuff done.

    How do you know you got anything done? Against what do you measure?

    So you have a daily end place you want to be (dare I say a daily goal)?

    I think he doesn’t like terminology pigeon-holing him (which I agree with 100%) but to say you don’t have goals doesn’t necessarily seem like what’s happening. How do you know when to launch a new piece of software? It feels ready? It feels done/tested out?

    You followed a “plan” to reach completion (you built tested released). So in theory you can shirk the convention but in the end you are still following it because that is what works.

    Awesome.

    I love his approach on business/everything.
