Key Takeaways:

Deep work is essential but often deprioritized. Many product leaders know they should spend time on strategic thinking but struggle to justify it.
Guilt is a major barrier. Many leaders feel bad about blocking off time for reflection, fearing it takes away from “real work.”
Deep thinking improves team alignment. Setting aside time for structured thought helps leaders assess their team’s needs, challenges, and motivations.
Strategy requires dedicated focus time. Updating or refining product strategy isn’t something you can do in 15-minute increments—it requires intentional, uninterrupted work.
Protecting your calendar is a leadership skill. Building deep work habits means creating systems that make space for what matters most.
