To Be A Product Manager | Day 62
This journal helps me improve 1% every day…
Welcome to Day 62 of
To Be A Product Manager
I have so many tasks need to be done this week. So yesterday before I left the office, I actually decided what to to today and write down 3 important tasks on my list.
If you goals are clear, you won’t waste too much time on hesitation while making decisions.
This morning, I gathered 3 questions/bugs together, and discuss how we can improve them before the product launch. These are all small problems, and I know they will at most take him 10 minutes to fix them all. That’s why I decide to talk to him in the morning, before he dive into today’s work mode.
They’re really occupied with the back end system and cms system recently. And I won’t disturb them easily during the day.
Then I started looking into livestream apps. My mentor is almost finishing a very detailed livestream market and potentials research. He needs some real experience from a host, and me and another colleague in Millbrae, are learning how the host system work on our cellphones.
I chose a Chinese app — momo, and an American app — Live.me. I host for about 30 mins on each platform, specifically focusing on the UX/UI design and unique features.
Goals
- H5 player testing
- livestream apps report
Challenges
Yes today is productive, and I don’t have any meetings.
I finished 2 product experience reports and also sent out some reach out emails in the morning. But the problem is
am I improving the most today?
You don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel I get a lot of things done in a short period of time, but not improving that much. I call them
FAKE PRODUCTIVITY
From my perspective, productivity not only means getting things done, but providing equal value to the project.
If you are repeating doing something that could not help you either build your personal capital, nor save your time for things that you are truly passionate about. You might enter a very vicious cycle.
My name is Zake Zhang, a newbie VR product manager based in Shenzhen, China. I’m thinking what if I write daily product journal for 1,000 days?
Thanks for reading and let’s keep on hacking!
Warm Regards,
Zake
be so good they can’t ignore you.
