My Day in Three for today:
1. One of my peers said today: “You can’t influence others if you can’t be influenced yourself”. It made me think.
2. I joined the 12 Days of Winter Wonder Photo Challenge with the [Micro.blog community](https://challenges.micro.blog/). I’m going to do my best to keep the streak going.
3. I installed and tested the latest version of [Tapestry.app](https://usetapestry.com/). The new theme is great. I really like how much smoother different feeds blend together now.
My Day in Three for today:
1. I’m dealing with something I call ‘December fatigue’. I don’t enjoy the long, dark days and miss the sunlight, which makes me feel tired.
2. I had some good laughs at the office, and some colleagues were laughing at me because of my grumpiness in the morning (see 1).
3. I spent the evening thinking about the Product Manager skills I find important and how I see these skills evolving in the near future due to the introduction of agentic tools. I’ve drafted a blog post about five of them, which I will post here later.
I’m going to try a new reflection method over the next 30 days. I’ll call it My Day in Three ([MDiT](https://schoonens.social/categories/mdit/)). Here’s the first one, because why wait until January 1st for a New Year’s resolution?
1. I got up early today to have breakfast with my youngest, who had to leave the house for sports at 8:30 in the morning.
2. I had brunch with three of my longest-standing friends (from the mid-nineties). We had a good catch-up about life, work, and friendship.
3. My wife and I finished packing for our upcoming ski holiday.
I took my kids to the IMAX cinema in Rotterdam this afternoon to watch the latest Mission Impossible movie. It was a fun movie to watch, probably the last Mission Impossible Tom Cruise will make, but you never know. Fun fact: when the first film arrived, I was in my first year of being a student.
