It's essential to balance immediate action with strategic planning for long-term goals, especially in product development.

Avoid pursuing multiple product directions simultaneously, as this can lead to wasted time and resources; focus on small, manageable projects instead.

It's important to be intentional about how you chop up your schedule, balancing between meetings and creative work.

To address the challenge of justifying strategy work, product leaders should plan ahead, break down steps for stakeholders, and contextualize the time investment against long-term benefits.

There is a critical exploration phase for a company that is often ignored; it's important to allow time for ideas to develop before committing to a specific direction. Don't make a fixed plan; instead, plan to plan, allowing for adjustments every three months based on new insights and variables.

When prioritizing, I should focus on high-impact and easy tasks first, followed by high-impact and medium complexity tasks, while avoiding low-impact and hard tasks.

If I'm running out of time to complete tasks, I should consider breaking complex tasks into smaller ones or adjusting my schedule to allow for uninterrupted work periods.

It's important to select the right tasks and not try to do everything at once; doing too many things can hinder progress and make it hard to show results week to week.

Managing team energy during strategy development is crucial; pacing sprints, incorporating fun activities, and allowing for down cycles can help maintain morale and productivity.
