Hi! Hope you enjoyed reading 'Transformed' as much as I did! Hoping to catch some of you during the summary today (at 7pm CEST) This month, we'll be reading 'Good to Great' by Jim Collins. The book explores how to shift product orgs over to the 'Product Operating Model', raising the awareness of the increasing need for Product Coaching in modern product orgs. I loved reading Empowered at the end of last year, so I'm confident this'll be a worthwhile read too. _________________________ What’s Product Bookclub? _________________________ It's an online bookclub for the members of Product Synthesis - each month I’ll announce a new Product book that I’ll be reading throughout the month, and anyone in the community is welcome to read (or listen) along with me! If you’re like me, and love reading, but don’t have enough people to discuss what you’re learning, then this’ll be perfect for you! I've changed the schedule a little for this one, as we're heading into the summer I thought I'd see how folks feel about a 6 week schedule for the bookclub instead of the monthly cadence we've been doing so far this year!

I looked to ChatGPT to get me over a hump a few weeks ago, and out of my productivity lull. The results were pretty awesome. Before I dive into the results and step-by-step plan it created and how it got me untuck, here is the crux of my “situation”. I am a perfectionist, occasional procrastinator when fear of failure creeps in, have ADHD and trouble staying focused when there are prolonged eb and flows in my normal work routine. When this occurs, I tend to get overloaded by all the ideas and possibilities flowing in, on want I want to do. If left unharnessed, I can struggle to get started and moving in a optimally productive and consistent way. A few weeks back I found myself with more spare time than usual and what started as a good exploratory phase morphed into an information gathering overload. Which on occasion can morph into the even more dreaded, over analysis paralysis. I was swimming in great Youtube videos from some of my favorite thought leaders, top resources and articles I’d gathered on the topic of the things I wanted to do REALLY well. But I needed to get a tactical plan in place first to start creating outputs and results. Rather than getting started on what I was seeing as the best first steps, I found myself just wanting to go to one more coaching call, and review a few more notes. During this “stuck period”, likely brought on by perfectionism and a fear of failure and not getting something as perfect as I felt it could be- I found myself rereading the book “Atomic Habits”. With the hope that some sage wisdom would jump off the pages and give me a eureka moment and a crystal clear path forward. Or at the very least I was looking for a few lines in the book that would help me get real honest with myself and light a fire under me to get started and doing ALREADY!! And out of research mode. So I did what any tech innovation loving, creative problem solver and procrastinator would do in 2024. I asked ChatGPT4 to write a summary and key takeaways of the book "Atomic habit" and include examples of how I can apply this insight in step-by-step process to aid in my personal and professional development journey.
