You don't avoid the chaos. You filter it.
Most PMs drown in context from devs, design, stakeholders, and user feedback that changes every 4 hours.
Your brain can't hold this. Stop pretending.
The filtering system that actually works: 🧵

The filtering system that actually works: 🧵
1/ Every junior PM thinks they need to process everything.
Track every Slack thread. Attend every meeting. Read every doc. Respond to every ping.
Reality: 90% of "urgent" context has a 4-hour half-life.
You need better filters, not less chaos.

2/ Most PMs batch emails. Elite PMs batch context.
First hour: Strategic inputs (roadmap, vision, major decisions)
Mid-morning: Dev blockers and design reviews
Early afternoon: Tactical inputs (bugs, features, quick wins)
Late afternoon: Stakeholder updates
End of day: FYI inputs (updates, announcements)
Context switching kills. Batching saves.

3/ Stop using your brain as storage. Start using it as a processor.
Decision log: Every decision, who made it, why
Context queue: Inputs waiting for batch processing
Filter criteria: What gets immediate vs batched attention
Archive system: Where old context lives when needed
Your brain processes. Systems store.

4/ Filtering IS the job.
Not processing everything. Not responding to everything. Filtering.
Developing better filters = growth in the role.
