内容简介:
Rework shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business.
Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you’re looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.
Read it and you’ll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don’t need outside investors, and why you’re better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don’t need to be a workaholic. You don’t need to staff up. You don’t need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don’t even need an office. Those are all just excuses.
What you really need to do is stop talking and start working. This book shows you the way. You’ll learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you.
With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who’s ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of “downsizing,” and artists who don’t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.
作者简介:
Jason Fried is the co-founder and President of 37signals, a privately-held Chicago-based company committed to building the best web-based tools possible with the least number of features necessary.
37signals’ products include Basecamp, Highrise, Backpack, Campfire, Ta-da List, and Writeboard. 37signals also developed and open-sourced the Ruby on Rails programming framework. 37signals’ products do less than the competition — intentionally.
37signals weblog, Signal vs. Noise, is read by over 100,000 people every day.
Jason believes there’s real value and beauty in the basics. Elegance, respect for people’s desire to simply get stuff done, and honest ease of use are the hallmarks of 37signals products.
David Heinemeier Hansson is the cofounder of Basecamp and NYT bestselling coauthor of REWORK and REMOTE. He’s also the creator of the software toolkit Ruby on Rails, which has been used to launch and power Twitter, Shopify, GitHub, Airbnb, Square, and over a million other web applications. Originally from Denmark, he moved to Chicago in 2005, and now lives between the US and Spain with his wife and two sons. In his spare time, he enjoys 200-mph race cars in international competition, taking cliche pictures of sunsets and kids, and ranting far too much on Twitter.
原文摘录:
建筑师们从来不会过早去操心浴室要铺什么样的瓷砖、厨房要安什么牌子的洗碗机,这都是在平面图确定了以后才需要考虑的事。他们深知这些细节应该放到以后去考虑。
你也应该用同样的方式来处理你的想法。细节会导致差异,但过早纠结于细节则会引来异议、多如牛毛的会议以及延期。你会迷失在不重要的环节中,浪费时间去做一些迟早要变的决定。因此,请忽略细节——至少是在一段时间内。先把基础打牢,再去操心其他事。
当开始设计规划时,我们会用大号粗体白板笔——而不是圆珠笔——把想法大致描绘下来。为什么呢?圆珠笔太完美了,分辨率太高了,会让你不知觉地去关注那些还不需要关注的东西,比如如何美化底纹、是用虚线还是用实线,等等。结果让你把注意力放在次要的事情上了。
用白板笔可不能进行这种深入的描绘。你只能用它来画形状、线条、方框。这就够了。你在起步阶段要操心的就是综观全局。
沃尔特·斯坦奇菲尔德(Walt Stanchfield),身为迪士尼工作室的著名绘画师,曾经鼓励他手下的漫画师们要在一开始时“忘掉细节”。理由是:在初期,关注细节不会给你带来任何好处。
此外,你只有在真正开始后,才能认清到底那些细节才是最重要的。到那时你才能看清哪些方面需要多花些时间。缺什么补什么,不要操之过急。

很多公司都关注即将到来的大事件。他们热衷于新鲜热辣的事物,追逐最新的潮流和技术。
这是一条愚人之路。一旦踏上这条路,你就会关注时髦、放弃本质;把注意力放在不断变化的事物上,而不是持久的事物上。
你的事业的核心应该建立在不变的基础之上。你应该投资那些人现在需要并且10年后仍然需要的事物。
亚马逊网站(Amazon.com)致力于快速(或免费)送货、精选商品、友好的回赠规则以及合理的价格。这些东西总是有市场的。
日本汽车厂商也喜欢关注不变的核心原则:可靠性、性价比、实用性。人们30年前就欢迎这类产品,到今天还是这样,今后30年也依然如此。
对于37signals来说,像速度、简洁性、易用性以及清晰度都是我们关注的焦点。这是我们无止境的追求。10年后不会有人突然醒悟过来,说:“哥们,我觉得软件还是难用一点儿好。”也没人会说:“我希望我的应用程序跑慢一点儿。”
要记住,时尚会凋零。只有当你聚焦于长久的功能时,你才会发现自己把握住了永不落伍的东西。
