This is you. Gosh you’re good looking. And this is how you communicate in your business. Scary. It's a mysterious mixture of messaging that's impossible to piece together. But if you use Basecamp discussions happen on the record in one place, on one page. Like this message, where the client gave annoyingly vague feedback, and everyone clarified it below in one place on one page. Or this to-do, where someone hit a snag on their assignment, then they solved it below in one place, on one page. There's a comment thread on everything in Basecamp, which keeps the conversation in the same place it started. So no more of this...much more of this. Make progress, not puzzles with Basecamp.
