Video Description
Ever worked with someone who loses their schpedoinkle if you mix up "Product" and "Project"? Annoying, right? But they actually have a point.
This video explains why understanding this distinction can transform how you organize and prioritize your work.
The key difference that changes everything: • Projects have end dates. Products don't. • Projects are one-off efforts. Products are ongoing. • Projects are tactical. Products are strategic.
Why this matters: You can only do one thing at a time. That means you need to prioritize projects and products TOGETHER, not separately.
The hidden problem: When you don't distinguish between them, you can't balance strategic product work against urgent project demands. You end up reactive instead of strategic.
The fix: ✓ Know what kind of work is in front of you ✓ Understand why each type matters differently ✓ Prioritize them against each other consciously ✓ Stop letting one-off projects kill your strategic products
Being clear about what's a project vs. what's a product helps you work on the RIGHT stuff.
