A couple years ago, I remember psyching myself up to write my year end review, only to realize that I couldn’t remember any details about what had happened in the first half of the year. Has that ever happened to you?

To help us avoid that again, I'm thrilled to announce my new launch…

We’re down to the last two weeks of the year! Last week, I shared part 1 of the ritual that I’m using to set New Year’s Resolutions for 2021. In it, I walked through how you can create more time in your day to bulletproof yourself against times when things get busy, so that you don’t have to sacrifice your resolution. This week, we’ll dive into how you can set better resolutions that lead to action.

It’s almost the new year… finally! Like many of you, I can’t wait for a fresh start in 2021. I usually start the year feeling hopeful and setting a few New Year’s Resolutions. As the year goes on, I see great progress on some resolutions and limited progress on others.

I’m going to try something different this time. I will be transforming my New Year’s Resolutions into a two-part ritual this year, which I’ll cover in this post and the next post. This post will focus on how you can create more time in your day to bulletproof you against times when things get busy, so that you don’t have to sacrifice your resolution. The next post will focus on how you can set better resolutions that lead to action.

As a PM, between meetings, Slack, and emails, I often felt like I had no time left to do “real work”. And yet, in business school, my friends had nicknamed me “T2K” because of how I got things done with robot-like efficiency. What had happened to the machine that I used to be?

I found the answer in “Indistractable” by Nir Eyal. Not only was I nodding along as I read the book (as odd as that is when you’re in a room by yourself), but it has been one of my favorite books that I’ve read this year. In this post, I’ll share my key learnings from Indistractable.

I’ve always wanted to write, but never had the time. Thanks to shelter-in-place, I’ve now written 10 stories in about as many weeks. That’s 10,000 words that are out on a page rather than locked in my brain!

But of course, like any good product manager, I’m not satisfied with writing in a vacuum. I want to track metrics and analyze how my “product launch” has performed, so that I can understand what’s connecting with people and what’s not. Read on to find out what key metrics I tracked and what I’ve learned so far.
