Yes. One way around this whole 'who pays' mess would be a Wikipedia like site
for papers. Anyone can publish, anyone can review. If you added voting to that
and some level of authentication of users it could be very interesting.

Tip for all founders with employees from someone who's worked for start-ups
for decades: fucking delegate!

And I don't just mean the work, that's the easy part. Delegate parts of the
decision-making process you don't have the time for to get into properly. Yes,
even if it involves spending money.

If I have to report to, talk you through things on multiple occasions, have to
keep reminding you of them, and all the while my team is waiting for a
decision, that process does not only cost you a lot of time you should be
spending doing other things, it actually often costs the whole company more
money than we're actually talking about spending!

If you don't trust the people you've hired, you're doing it wrong.

A good advice I got when delegating, was to accept the result of the task
given if it was >80% of how you would have done it yourself and acceptable,
without picking at the differences. That way the delegatee would feel
ownership and responsibility to the result and gain confidence for future
tasks.

I recommend David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology. I use it with
OmniFocus, but there are a number of other tools available.

The process is straightforward (collect, process, organize, do, and review)
but what I found most helpful was getting everything out of my head so I could
stop worrying about forgetting anything
