> At Matter, I’m building a team that shares the same work and lifestyle ethics that I do. This means that we begin our day at 9am, work normal business hours (with a break for a walk when we need it!), then head home between 5pm and 6pm to recharge.

I know not hiring night owls was mentioned, but I feel like this isn't the way to go. Even in startups one can make a ton of the communication async.

I know that my mind doesn't work 9-5, it's much more chunked and a good bit of that late. If I try to force it, I end up working in the evening to make up for low productivity.
