How to learn (when you have no time for it)
As a product person you know how important learning is โ and you still don't do it, because you take no time for it.
Here's to change it:
- โฐ Save time for learning โ otherwise you won't do it
- every working day
- better at the beginning of day before product requests come in
- โ๏ธ Write down questions while you work
- What would I like to know more about?
- What are you struggling with right at this moment?
- ๐คฉ Learn what you need and enjoy right now
- Pick your questions and write possible answers
- Challenge and extend your answers with online material (only read what you need)
- Don't set up huge plans with idealistic goals ("What a senior PM needs to know")
- Go by your own speed and interest, not anyone else's
- ๐งช Experiment with the hypotheses of your answers
- How can I apply and challenge my new knowledge in my work in the next week?
- ๐ Apply learning best practices
