"One of the things I'm also passing on is, there's only so many hours in a day,"
"Ask yourself, what is the real one thing you could do today to really have impact, make a difference? Ask yourself, do you need to be in that meeting or not?"
"to not think about work is six to eight hours on Saturdays."
Martin Ott joined Facebook in 2012 and witnessed its growth from a pre-IPO startup to a global platform. He learned from Mark Zuckerberg to focus on delivering the biggest impact during working hours and to limit total daily work hours. Ott recommends asking what single action will make the most difference each day and whether attendance at any meeting is necessary. He now leads Taxfix, a Berlin tax app valued at over $1 billion. Several tech leaders promote relentless work—Lucy Guo, Khozema Shipchandler, and Reid Hoffman endorse long hours—but Ott warns that 24/7 work leads to burnout and stresses the importance of switching off.
