Letters to a Young Manager


The NYT Puzzle Streak, #434
LTYM >

Please note that this letter is in-process; the following are my notes

Dear Adam,
***
The negative side to streaks: 115 days on NYT puzzle.  Really pressed hard each day. But once broken, 115 seems like a larger mountain to beat, which is a disincentive.  Small streaks seem more enjoyable. This is counter to the beat-IT metric story on reliability; but a problem you want to have
***
Sincerely yours,
Ed
