๐ This Week's Reading List
Creativity Is a Process, Not an Eventby James Clear (7min) Creative thinking requires our brains to make connections between seemingly unrelated ideas.

Shipping is a Feature: Some Guiding Principles for People That Build Thingsby Michael Copeland (6min) Shipping is a feature. Every PM knows this but it is also the hardest thing to get right. As a PM you throw around things like โthe enemy of the good is the perfectโ or, well, โshipping is a featureโ all the time, yet we all have a hard time getting a product out the door.

Why? Because unless youโre a growth expert or an experienced investor, youโre often relying on anecdotes, dated blog posts, and misguided benchmarks. It's the best indicator of product-market fit, it is the most important factor in a userโs lifetime value, and high retention drives all of the best acquisition strategies. ๐ Glasp Community Highlights ๐ more content in #Retention
