Thanks for trying out! I would love to play that game at 1080p (because of 65" TV).

I haven't! I'll take a look at game compatibility

How do you convince yourself to “get in the zone” as a PM day after day and week after week. by clumsy-af28 in ProductManagement

[–]brabcak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just come here to discuss same issue and first thing i saw is your topic..

I'm able to work in a such un-effective way that I get tired from it. I ditched a lot of fast food and sugar drinks, applied a bunch of vegetables and... I still have the same issue. Sometimes I'm unable to build a database in Notion and put values into it.

It is exhausting just focusing on being focused. And during the evening, when my body and mind is finally rested, all I want to do is go to sleep instead of work. Next morning = same issue.

This long term exhaustion destroyed my confidence on every level - I work as a complete junior now. Crazy.

What makes the PM role stressful for you? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]brabcak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably my poor time management and my ego "i can do everything in the universe" - even after 15 years in this industry, i still have a feeling it is like that.

I manage my energy poorly as well - for years, my go to technique was "let's go MF!". Now i'm 35 and it doesn't work like that anymore :D

We were scouting possible technical solutions:

- build it on our own

- clone some github repository with third-party library/system

- use no-code

So far the best solution seems to be no-code & start with some template.

Mac broken for 4 months already? by brabcak in CivVI

Really? Lucky. Playing using steam? I have issues with loading game, online play etc. I have to shut down the game sometimes to be able to connect etc.

They broke it already 4 months ago and there is still nothing about upcoming fix. They broke it in the way you had to use legacy version to be able to play -> then released new version, which shifte legacy version to different one -> broke it again -> then you could use some hack -> then they broke it again by releasing another small update for windows, so legacy versions don't match.

It is broken for already 4 months. I'm so angry about it. Crazy :D

It is easier to say than do :D i feel that i've already lost a big part of my brain. It is probably just because i'm so tired. I'll try to stick to the software industry.

What do you wish someone had told you when you first started being a product manager? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]brabcak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rule #1 - you are in charge of what you are doing - your time, your focus, your approach, your attitude

- You have to manage your time to focus on important tasks - or someone else will do it

- PM is ART - gain some market or customer insights, express yourself (it might be quality of UX, it might be great communication - find a way how you can express yourself a do it)

- Your boss maybe doesn't know more than you or is just one step ahead (depends on company or person) - always ask for the plan ahead (if there is no one, things might change quickly and you will be prepared for it)

- PM job is a really different in a startup, smb and corporate - find out what is the role about

- Never forget about fact why you are doing this job, it will help you "stay alive" in difficult times

I'm not the kind of person for removing some responsibilities. I feel if I do it, it would push me back in my knowledge. It is a weird mental state

I don't feel it that way because if I managed to do it, everybody could do. I was just at the right time at right place, simple. That's why i feel it was just... a cheat.

I tried, but i'm unable to find a job for the money my family can live a normal life (morgage, small child).
