Too many choices
I started a business, pursued an idea, and ran straight into a wall. I didn’t know how to do anything: build the app I envisioned, a website, or set up the legal structures of my company. Though countless bits of information are available online, there’s no standard way of doing basic things.
Spending hours researching and comparing options often results in complex and inefficient workflows, preventing businesses from focusing on their core competencies and reaching their full potential.
There should be one standardized and perfect anyone can apply for basic tasks: Flow Atoms.
Flow Atoms are the building blocks for Straight Line Flows. They eliminate the need for research and provide a reliable source of things that work.
- How to read them: Thinking in Atoms
- Keep in mind: Many Roads Lead to Rome
Looking for information, I open Wikipedia – researching workflows, I crawl through an endless mess of YouTube videos, blog posts, Reddit opinions, courses, and notes from university. Whether I want to build a YouTube channel, register a trademark, or learn fishing, I must arrange fragments of knowledge into a picture I don’t understand.
Vision
Flow Atoms will be the standardized blocks individuals and companies use to optimize their workflows. Down the road:
- Flow Atoms will be integrated into a company’s internal flow setup. A mixture of standard Flow Atoms and company-specific elements will be an exciting way to re-think internal workflows.
- Individual Atoms or complete flows can be outsourced. A company running on straight lines will have seamless options to implement external Atoms in their flows.
- A value system will calculate the worth of each Atom and the time its execution requires. It’ll open up new possibilities for evaluating workflows and further enable cooperation.
In its ultimate state, Flow Atoms is an open project that, like Wikipedia, allows a community to search for and define the optimal way of doing a task. Contributors own, based on their input, percentages in Atoms and Flows, resulting in a payout whenever somebody implements them in their structure – e.g., employees will be motivated to impact their company’s productivity because they’ll have a personal profit from it.
