If you’re new around here, every week I share the 5 best tweets I saw in the past 7 days.

I scroll, so you don’t have to.

Let’s get to it:

You can predict the long term health of a relationship by whether each cut heals to 99% or 101%.

This is actually a very powerful idea.

Relationships have arguments, disagreements, fights and ugly moments. Those are “cuts”.

You said something or did something. They said something or did something. Cut. cut, cut.

It’s inevitable. Cuts will happen. Which means - the part that’s in our control is what happens after the cut.

Do you heal to 99%...or 101%? It sounds small. Just 2%. But it’s a massive difference.

99% means, eventually the relationship decays to zero. 101% means it gets better and better over time.

This week, I’m making it a point of emphasis to heal every cut to 101%.

Having a prototype is 10x more valuable than a design. Having a design is 10x more valuable than having a little doc. Having a doc is 10x more valuable than having an idea in your head.

Here’s two principles I use in my companies (feel free to steal):

Don’t debate, if the data is available (get the data first, then discuss)
“A prototype is worth a thousand meetings” (building a simple way to ‘taste test’ is often faster AND better than trying to figure things out in our heads)
