📚 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. Even some claim that “I'm just not the creative type” is a pretty weak excuse for avoiding creative thinking. Your creative skills are primarily determined by whether you approach the creative process with a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. 🔗 Glasp Community Highlights 🔍 more content in #Thinking
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 “the enemy of the good is the perfect” or, well, “shipping is a feature” all the time, yet we all have a hard time getting a product out the door. There’s always more to do to get it right. Once you release the product you begin a new adventure building the next iteration. 🔗 Glasp Community Highlights 🔍 more content in #Product Management
What is good retentionby Lenny Rachitsky (8min) Although retention is widely considered to be the most important metric to get right when building (and investing in) a business, it’s also one of the least understood. Why? Because unless you’re a growth expert or an experienced investor, you’re 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 user’s lifetime value, and high retention drives all of the best acquisition strategies. 🔗 Glasp Community Highlights 🔍 more content in #Retention
