Use the time to maximum benefit — You can achieve a ton in 25 minutes with a solid schedule. (If you don’t know where to start — feel free to use our template!)

If there is one unifying theme in Silicon Valley, it is that all mistakes are not permanent. One big misstep does have the chance of destroying a company, but business executives make mistakes all the time and find a way to recover. If you have a big issue with your startup, don’t take it personally and don’t let it derail your greater vision. If you stick to it for the long run, you can create your own path to success.

To hack your inbox for maximum productivity, you need to create tools that will help you prioritize, deflect and destroy. Buy yourself more time to respond by creating time-delaying filters and a priority contact list that’ll help you quickly sort your email.

In order to celebrate these people as heroes — the square pegs in the round hole, the rebels and the troublemakers — requires a culture that tolerates and encourages dissent. Because without dissent, there is no creativity.
