Hey everyone,

This week, I want to talk about something that’s been a cornerstone of the Less Doing philosophy: asynchronous communication—and I’ve got a big announcement too.

The Asynchronous Advantage: Redefining How We Work and Live

We live in a world where busyness is glorified.

Back-to-back Zoom calls.

Endless meetings.

Calendar invites that never stop.

We wear our packed schedules like badges of honor—proof that we’re important, that we’re needed.

But let me ask you something: Is that really what success looks like?

Because I didn’t build my companies just to be a professional meeting attendee.

[Pause – Let it sink in]

I built them to create impact.

To innovate.

To live life on my terms.

And to do that, I had to change the way I thought about communication.

The Traditional Model is Broken

The traditional model of communication is fundamentally broken.

It’s reactive.

It’s intrusive.

It demands your attention right now—no matter what you’re doing.

You’re writing an email, and Slack pings you.

You’re working on a strategy, and the calendar alerts you of a “quick sync.”

You’re with your family, and your phone buzzes with a “one last thing” text.

We’ve blurred the lines between work and life—not in a healthy, integrated way, but in a chaotic, soul-crushing way.

Introducing Asynchronous Communication

This is where asynchronous communication changes everything.

Instead of chasing the calendar, async lets you control your time.

Instead of reacting to every ping, you batch your responses—on your terms.

Instead of sitting through hour-long meetings to hear five useful minutes, you get straight to the point—clear, concise, and documented.

Async communication is a liberation tool.

Async and Work-Life Integration

Now, some people say you can’t really have work-life balance as an entrepreneur.

I disagree.

You can have something better—work-life integration.

Balance is a myth. It implies perfect symmetry. Work and life as two sides of a scale that need to be measured perfectly every single day. That’s impossible.

But integration? That’s achievable.

Async communication makes that possible:

• You move projects forward without creating distractions.
• You build momentum without demanding immediate attention from your team.
• You work when you’re most productive, not when the calendar says you should be.

And you know what happens?

• You don’t miss your kid’s soccer game because of a “quick call.”
• You don’t postpone dinner with your family because of a “calendar conflict.”

You build a business that works with your life—not against it.

New Tools Worth Exploring

Here are two tools that align with everything we just talked about:

• 🥒 Pickle: Unlock hidden insights from your conversations. Get deeper understanding from meetings, calls, and more.
• 🌐 A Better Standup: Doing Async at the Same Moment in Time: Carbon Voice is redefining asynchronous standups—making them more impactful and less disruptive.

Async communication is the true unlock for work-life integration.

It’s less about balance and more about designing your life on your terms.
