1/ The 10 Commandments of Product Management
(#3 is tongue-in-cheek😄)
Why does Your Manager’s Manager (YMM) request a deck/doc during a meeting, says it’s urgent, and then doesn’t respond for days after you create & send it?
Or, why does YMM often respond with trivial feedback (e.g. formatting) & not substantive feedback?

Have you set an entirely new password on a site & said to yourself: “surely, I’ll remember it becos this site is so important for me”. Have you then gone on to forget that password the very next week?
Me too.
The reason for YMM’s odd behavior & my password optimism is the same.
That reason is the Focusing Illusion, first described by Daniel Kahneman.
The Focusing Illusion:
Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it.
1) Step out of the GTD mindset 2) Identify the main goals 3) Eliminate core assumptions 4) Ignore trade-offs 5) Connect unrelated concepts 6) Solicit many ideas 7) Take a break, percolate 8) Simulate the promising ideas 9) Validate the surviving ideas
