Be a level-triggered product manager.
A hack I learned working with distributed systems for a while is reacting towards a state not to every tiny little change.

In distributed-systems, also electronics, a system has two means to responds to recurring events over time to reach a desired state:
- Edge-triggering
- Level triggering.

- Edge-triggering
- Level triggering.

With edge-triggering, the system would react to every event be it major or minor by issuing detailed instructions on how to reach a state. With level-triggering, the "how" is not really relevant, what matters is that the desired state is reached matching the conditions specified.
If we apply that to product, desired state is a global milestone that contributes to a strategy, how we get there is not what matters, because focusing on the tiny drifts blurries the big picture and wastes energy which otherwise can be used to forge crisp vision and strategy.
