Deep dives
Changing perspective on 'if-only' scenarios
Many of us have a list of 'if-only' scenarios that we believe would improve our work week, such as wishing for more time, better tools, or increased sales. However, these wishes often remain unfulfilled because we struggle to see a specific path to achieve them. By adopting the mindset of a product manager for our own lives, we can reframe these scenarios as problems to be solved with agency. This shift in thinking empowers us to identify the core issues behind our 'if-only' statements and take proactive steps to address them, clarifying where we have control and where we don't.
