Clear communication is very important when it comes to getting your point across.

This post is in desperate need of paragraphs. It's unreadable.

PFDR (poorly formatted, didn't read).

Is that bad form? I've noticed even people like Ryan Carson submit their own links

Darn, I was going to answer the blog's question:

What do you wish someone would make for you?

... with something like your observation. Ah well, that HN community is already on top of it.

Bad formatting aside, this is an important insight. When I first started working at my current job, a young consulting firm, we took a client that nearly killed me for about a solid month. The thing is, we hadn't even launched their product, a test taking app, to the general public yet. There was always an air of urgency, of "if we don't get this feature done RIGHT NOW there will be trouble." I've since learned that there really wasn't as much trouble as I thought, since we didn't even have users yet, and if the feature had to be put on hold for 3 hours to spend time in the evening with my family, the world was not at all going to end.

I think I'm getting better at work/life balance, but when I first started, it was nonexistent. Makes for an unpleasant lifestyle.

First rule of contracting: The client's emergency is not your emergency unless they're explicitly paying you to deal with it right now.

Good insight; poor formatting/spelling.

Sorry guys for poor formatting. I wrote it in a hurry and since my blog isn't that popular I din't mind it initially but looks like I made to the Home Page of Hacker News and am getting a lot of attention. So I formatted it now, hope its readable.
