There's a crisis in modern work: meeting overload, chaotic collaboration, & a lack of trust. Derived from 5,000+ interviews w/top business leaders, The Modern Work Method is a playbook of the best-kept secrets of top remote teams you can't find anywhere else.

Hey PH fam -- Do you remember how you felt on your first day of work? I remember walking into Apple's gleaming headquarters in 2013—and the optimism, ambition, and eagerness I had to make an impact. But then something funny happened: like clockwork, that optimism was replaced by frustration over how much work didn't feel like work at all. Every day, I'd track notifications like whack a mole, sit in unproductive meetings, and follow up on requests I made. Forget about making an impact—I wasn't even able to cross off simple to dos. At first, I thought it was me. But as I talked to friends and colleagues, I realized everyone felt this way. And ten years later, not much has changed. If you work on the internet, you can work from anywhere, anytime. So why are we still collaborating—getting feedback, making decisions, and sharing knowledge—as if we're all in an office from 9 to 5? We're using approaches that are 70 years old and are fundamentally at odds with working across time zones, geographies, and multiple channels of communication. This is why work is broken. We're living in the midst of what I call the "Modern Work Crisis." And it's root cause is simple: where we work has changed, but how we work has not. We need a revolution in knowledge work. That's why I founded Almanac. And that's why today I'm excited to announce something huge: It's called The Modern Work Method. Derived from over 5,000 interviews with top business professionals, it's a new philosophy on how to deliver business value fast in the remote and distributed contexts in which many teams now work. If you're interested in a new way of working, I think you'll find its pages turn themselves. It's a tactical playbook that shows you how to implement structured, async-first approaches in your remote or distributed organization. A much-needed antidote to the informal, real-time, office-first approaches that plague so many teams today. I've had this date marked on my calendar for what feels like a year now. And today, I'm excited to finally launch The Modern Work Method with you guys. I hope you find it to be as valuable as we believe it to be. I'll be here all day if you want to chat or talk! Warmly, Adam

@adam_nathan1Wow! What a great topic and resource. I can't wait to dive in and find out more! Congrats on your launch!

Excited to see you launching a practical playbook for the widespread problem that affects people working remotely, people working in offices, and everyone in between! We can't keep limping along with 20th-century solutions to 21st-century issues!

The biggest thing that resonates for me is that solving the challenge of modern work is more than just redefining how employees do their tasks or the technology they use. Everyone I know is suffering silently with ineffective, office-based management techniques from decades ago. I can't wait to see how this method transforms the way we work!

What a comprehensive resource for remote workers trapped in office-first ways of working! I love the practicality of the playbook–it's methods are concrete, it's principles are novel, and it's advice is stellar. A true resource for modern teams looking to escape the chaos of the "modern work crisis."
