Underrated skill in #productmanagement: your ability to emotionally regulate yourself.

The job is stressful. We bear a lot of responsibility, but we’re also often at the mercy of decisions made by others who also bear a lot of responsibilities (our managers, execs, teammates, etc.)

The real skill is the ability to handle that, over large stretches of time. And a good way to do so is having outlets outside of the work.

For me, it’s music, tinkering with web stuff, and supporting my wife and kid. What’s yours?
