Don't complicate product development. Work can be boiled down to a short list:
- Who is your customer?
- What problems are they solving?
- What job is your product replacing?
- How much are they willing to pay for it?
Be relentless and tireless in pursuing these.

Not design led.
Not dev led.
Not PM led.
Design informed.

You can design the best possible solution, but if you can't explain it to others, it's wasted. Presenting your work is the most important skill you can learn.

How to improve your listening skills:
1 talk less
2 do not interrupt
3 maintain direct eye contact
4 put your phone down
5 listen with your eyes; look for the unsaid
6 be interested
7 if you are waiting for a pause, so that you can speak, then you're not actively listening
