running the microgrant program has taught me how to be way more decisive and fast moving. i have just a few min per grant to read, consider, potential draft up an email to ask a clarifying question, and ship it. you can always spend forever pondering whether to give the marginal grants, but the time cost of doing so is so high that it’s not worth it, so you need to just make a decision at some point. it’s also strangely liberating to fire off many emails in a short span of time without reading them over carefully and agonizing whether to send.
