How I consume

Books: 1-2 per month (deep read) Podcasts: 5-10 hours per week (during commute) Articles: 30 mins per day (morning coffee) Courses: 2-3 per year (focused learning)

What I look for

1. Frameworks, not tactics

Tactics change. "Do A/B test" is tactical. "How to think about growth" is framework.

I focus on frameworks I can apply to any problem.

2. Real examples, not theory

"Here's how company X did Y" is more valuable than abstract principles.

3. Industry trends

Keep aware of:

• AI/ML impact на products
• Shifting consumer behavior
• Regulatory changes
• Emerging platforms

4. Different perspectives

I read from:

• Other PMs
• Founders
• Investors
• Designers
• Engineers
• Economists

Diversity of perspective prevents groupthink.

Resources I avoid

1. "Productivity hack" content

Too much time optimization articles, not enough time doing work.

2. Motivational fluff

"10 ways to be better PM" without depth.

3. Echo chamber

Same voices saying same things. Seek new perspectives.

Knowledge I actively pursue

Next year focus areas:

1. Deeper SQL & analytics - want to analyze data myself
2. International expansion - how to enter new markets
3. Sales & enterprise - better understand B2B
4. Financial modeling - understand business unit economics
5. Behavioral economics - understand why people decide

Concept I use most

Most valuable learning: Good Strategy Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt

His framework of strategy:

1. Diagnosis (what's the problem)
2. Guiding policy (how to approach)
3. Coherent action (specific tactics)

I use this framework daily when making decisions.
