But not this week. Instead, I\u2019m going to implore you to do something that sometimes is hard for product people to do.<\/p>\n<p>Rest up, and recharge.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s summertime, and perhaps it\u2019s the bounty of sunny days we\u2019ve had so far this summer in Cleveland, Ohio \u2013 but I think this is the perfect time for anybody to reset themselves and get back to work with an eagerness to do even bigger things.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, this is really hard to do. Because there\u2019s always work to be done. For us at Product Collective, our flagship conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.industryconference.com\/global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.industryconference.com\/global\">INDUSTRY<\/a>, is right around the corner\u2026 taking place this Fall. There are lots of things to do to get ready for it. So it would be easy to pour ourselves into the preparation and skip over summer completely. But the reality is that we\u2019ve been putting in the hard work all year round. We have to rest and recharge at least a bit \u2013 otherwise, we\u2019ll simply get burnt out.<\/p>\n<p>So for this summer, resting and recharging means a few things\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It means going on a weekend staycation with some of my best friends for a weekend of boating and sun.<\/li>\n<li>It means taking my kids on a roadtrip to Wisconsin so my son can finally watch his favorite soccer team live for the first time ever (Go City!)<\/li>\n<li>It means taking my family on a weeklong vacation to Lake Placid to reconnect with nature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The work will always be there \u2013 and you will get to it all. You didn\u2019t get into product management without a penchant for hard work. But don\u2019t let summer go by without enjoying it. You\u2019ll regret that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usually, you\u2019ll find me here writing about some sort of recent tech news \u2013 like Elon Musk looking more and more like he\u2019s trying to back out of his bid for Twitter \u2013 or maybe some musings about the newsletter\u2019s topic of the week.
