How Kevin changed the worldHow Kevin changed the world

yesterday


Hello, I’m Kevin. This is the 177th original post of 2019



My original friends should feel that I have less time to share in the article writing during this period. In terms of content and number of original articles, November was not very good.


On this weekend, in addition to seeing the background data of the wechat public account, there were also questions from friends in the community. I’m also wondering if I should do it every day. Is the purpose of the original article to complete the mission of the original article or as much quality content as possible?



My answer is firmly the latter.


There was a time when writing could be easy because you could carve out a gap every day where you could just focus on writing. At the same time, you can also interact with friends in the community and talk about hot topics. After all, there’s only so much work to do, and when it’s done, you can breathe a sigh of relief today.


This November marks the second anniversary of PMTalk. Not only do I need to spend time on company management, but I also need to put energy into product development, testing and verification. It is no longer a blank period of time that can be squeezed out before starting a business, but becomes very fragmentary.


I also tried to accumulate original content in one week and output it in two days on weekends. But during the week, there are often hot spots and some work cases worth reviewing.


Do you write piecemeal or once a week?


Considering the content and reading experience, I still choose to stick to content sharing every day.


However, since May of 2019, I have spent most of the weekend and two days on decoration, except for salon sharing on PMTalk. Because the goal is simple, to create the most intelligent individual family residence possible in Chengdu. In addition to the basic decoration, other networking, intelligent equipment construction has been far beyond the scope of a decoration company. So I had to do it myself.


Home, for people now. Has become a most personalized, highly complex product.


Although I am a product manager, I can only learn from multiple systems (graffiti, Xiaomi, Google, etc.) on the Internet of Things. Based on the above mentioned entrepreneurship, home decoration two things in the time and energy limit, it is inevitable to cause the content quality of the day more reduced.


Therefore, I hope to make some changes next, so that I can do better in December. I also spent the week talking to a couple of product managers about the weekend.


The two-day weekend is only 48 hours long, but it is a time for people to make a difference and a time for many good products to accumulate. There’s a simple reason why every working product manager displays some slackness and happiness on Friday.


“The weekend is finally here and I can do things! “



What the hell is going on? I kept a record of the product manager’s weekend



Spent on “home”



My product friend is married and has a family. Therefore, she spends her weekends with her children, taking them with her, chatting with elders, and even visiting the countryside or her in-laws on weekends.


So on weekends. As for the job, she said no. One is lack of time. The second is that her focus gradually shifts from work to family happiness after marriage. For the other half’s working time needs, she will choose work as close as possible and have more free time. Even if the career opportunities are worse




I spent it at work




Some product managers may be the size of the week before the arrival of the new version, may also be the release of 996, and some may be closed development has not taken a break recently.


But either way, it’s because of “need.”


Product managers check out requirements, prototype, document, and discuss requirements, and the thick releases lead to a big release.


The two-day weekend is occupied, and soon it will be Monday.





To the postgraduate entrance examination




From product novice to senior product manager, savage growth is also a necessary way. At the same time, the career development of product manager is destined to require lifelong learning for everyone.


My friend is a product manager of a state-owned enterprise, and chose to apply for postgraduate study on weekends. Saturday, Sunday 2 days, one day to school. One day of revision and preparation for the course content lasts until the exam on December 5th this year.


I always wanted to find time to improve my degree, so WHEN the opportunity came up, I took it.



Spent in social contrast




Another product manager spends his weekends checking the event registration platform to see if there are any interesting communities or offline groups. From signing up to participate, to become a volunteer, and then to their own planning and hosting a dragon. Because of her offline activities, she connected with the product manager and operation of a local Internet company.


From learning other companies’ products to product manager duties and skills, to reflect and think about your current weaknesses.



Thinking about how well a product manager is “doing” in your own company is limited, since most companies only have one or two product managers.




Spent on lying down



This product manager friend’s choice of weekend may seem boring on the surface. Lie in on Saturday and wake up naturally on Sunday. In addition to the necessary survival of eating, sleeping, home douyin, watching TV is a way to kill time.


There was nothing wrong with such weekends, just as my parents always wanted me to work and play together after I started my business. If a large number of early work projects overtime, research and development stay up late. Taking a few weekends to recharge your batteries is a great thing for your body.


The body is the capital of revolution.


Just like the regret that appeared some time ago, the 35-year-old male star Gao Yixiang suddenly died in the recording because of the excessive exercise intensity and anti-biological clock schedule. In addition to the warning, we should know that the rest of the body is the premise to ensure good products.



In 2019, there are less than 30 days left





Today’s original article was written when I got home after the renovation. Experienced nearly half a year of decoration design, implementation process, pit mining and pit filling to the completion.


I’m pretty tired, to be honest. But I never thought I’d be this tired


As Zealer Wang Zealu said, the decoration itself is a highly customized product design.


In the blink of an eye, 2019 is less than 30 days away. The 2nd anniversary of PMTalk product Manager community has also started in various cities.


If you have 4 weekends left, you can think about how to plan your next 8 days. If this article helps you do anything, maybe that’s the point.


In addition, when we encounter difficulties and problems. Notice that time will still pass, and just know the best solution. Don’t waste time dwelling on problems, which is a waste of time.


In addition, there will be an advertising article tomorrow, please inform Kevin’s friends in advance. When I receive advertising, I will consider the target of the crowd and welfare points. After all, the advertising now is no longer the pure e-commerce in 2018. There are ads that are essentially there because they are new but there is wool mattress, and that’s the kind of ads THAT I’m going to take and put them out to you.





Well, that’s it for today’s share. Enlightening “Watching” for friends




The official account replied “Kevin” and joined Kevin and his product friends communication group.
