There’s no asynchronous work without written communication

The benefits of writing

  • Inclusive by default.

  • It’s thoughtful and deliberate.

  • It’s indexable and searchable.

  • It’s easy to structure, change and interact with.

  • It has a longer shelf life.

  • And it slows things down.

Gonçalo Silva, CTO, Doist

“Decision making is delayed, because most things will take at least 24 hours to move ahead. The truth is… this leads to better discussion… thoughtful ways of approaching a problem which in the end leads to better decisions.

So we can take the hit on decision speed, because we gain on decision quality.”
