ONE THING on Prioritizing Your Life

We've talked a lot about prioritization for companies and teams. But how do you prioritize yourself? Product people often are pulled in a million directions. Now, with so many of us working at home, that balance is even more strained.

Minal Mehta, Head of Product, for YouTube's Next Billion Users, gave a talk on prioritizing your life.

Here's my favorite part.

I do something similar, blocking Mondays entirely for making new content, and smaller blocks throughout the week for specific projects. What do you do?
Tell me a story.
