collin128··on Curing Dopamine Addiction To Stay More Productive
Great post!

I found that switching to the new Gmail folders/tabs layout is helping me stay off email so much.

Essentially, it reduces the times that I'm notified by my phone/laptop for new email by sticking non-essential emails into various folders and essential emails into my primary inbox.

Notifications are only enabled for my primary inbox and it has reduced my email interruptions by 80%.

I'd have to side with Thiel, with one caveat. Innovation of important technology is slowing down. How many animated GIF/photo-filter apps does the world really need?

I'd like to see more companies focusing on the big problems that have the potential to impact the way we work, live, and survive.

Kona looks great. Our main app (voltageCRM.com) is built in Angular I think we're going to go that route when we go mobile. Any tips/what back end are you running?

Love the Andrew Chen quote, "your ad-supported Web 2.0 site is actually a B2B enterprise in disguise."
