Summary:
1. Email frequently. Asynchrony and short posts that are consistent ftw.
2. Schedule tightly.
3. Focus on productivity. Use feedback to always improve.
4. Self-Improvement. Always be improving.
By comparison, Jack Dorsey quotes Don Miguel Ruiz:
1. Be impeccable with your word.
2. Don't take anything personally.
3. Don't make assumptions.
4. Always do your best.
