How do you decide what to work on next, without relying on a long, stale to-do list? In this episode of The REWORK Podcast, 37signals co-founders Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson talk about why they don’t rely on lengthy roadmaps to set priorities. Instead, they focus on what makes sense now, not what seemed like a good idea months ago. They explain how working in real time leads to better decisions and thinking that fits the moment. *Key Takeaways* 00:44 – Priorities aren’t permanent—they’re meant to shift as you learn 03:20 – Ditch the roadmap mentality in favor of real-time decision-making 07:20 – There’s a difference between winging it and planning as you go 09:10 – Why 6-week cycles give you just enough structure without locking you in *Links and Resources* “Doing what you think, not what you thought” from Jason Fried’s HEY World — https://world.hey.com/jason/doing-what-you-think-not-what-you-thought-60bb5bef Get a free Basecamp account at https://www.basecamp.com Books by 37signals – https://37signals.com/books 30-day free trial of HEY – https://www.hey.com/ Once. com – https://once.com/ Campfire – https://once.com/campfire HEY – https://www.hey.com/ The REWORK podcast – https://37signals.com/podcast/ Get some REWORK podcast merch – https://37signals.com/podcast/shop *Let's be social!* Twitter/X: https://x.com/37signals Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/37signalshq/ Newsletter: https://www.basecamp.com/newsletter Rework is a production of 37signals.
