Time management for product managers is a constant struggle, requiring a balance between executing and thinking strategically. To prioritize time effectively, product managers must fight against the "gravitational pull" of execution, making space for strategic thinking by introducing forcing functions such as regular meetings with stakeholders or setting aside dedicated time for planning. Daily and weekly goals are essential to help prioritize tasks, while making time for tasks with no immediate payoff is crucial for long-term vision. Keeping the door open to new ideas and being deliberate in decision-making rather than reactive can also improve productivity. Understanding the PM role's fit within the organization and defining clear responsibilities can help ensure focus on core priorities.
