The End of Product Bites

It's ok to quit a project sometimes :)

I started this Substack in January 2023, as part of working on a book on applying product management to personal life. I was publishing bits and pieces of the book material to get early feedback.

In late September 2023, the book was finished and published in English and Serbian. I decided to continue using this platform and upload short videos on the same topic. The goal was to publish 50 short videos within a year time. I have published 20, and in the meantime decided to quit the project.

Much like with some other principles in the book, I wanted to practice what I preach, and realized I should allow myself to change my mind + not give in to the sunken cost fallacy.

On my personal website, I list different projects and musings. So far, I haven’t mentioned different projects that I abandoned or that failed. I think we should not be ashamed of giving up on a project (sometimes), and so I decided to be transparent starting with Product Bites.
