Time Management for Unicorns: Time and Resource Management For System Administrators

Time is one of the most precious commodities, especially if you are the system administrator of a ”unicorn company” (a privately held startup company valued at over $1 billion). In the 2018 year alone, more than 50 startups around the world attained unicorn status with a valuation of $1 billion or more, according to data from venture capital trackers like PitchBook.
