5 things new Product Managers know they need to do but find it way harder than it seems:

1. Saying NO to requests from influential stakeholders
2. Talking to customers regularly & asking the right questions
3. Prioritizing between features with big $ attached vs. strategic roadmap items
4. Acknowledging they don't know the answer to a question asked publicly
5. Finding focused time for research & specs without getting pulled in a 100 different directions

1 => "The Art of Saying No" by Damon Zahariades.

2 => "The Mom Test" by Robert Fitzpatrick.

3 => "Inspired" by Marty Cagan.

5 => "Deep Work" by Cal Newport.
