You don’t avoid the chaos. You filter it.

Most PMs drown in context from devs, design, stakeholders, and user feedback that changes every 4 hours.

Your brain can’t hold this. Stop pretending.

The filtering system that actually works: 🧵 **

1/ Every junior PM thinks they need to process everything.

Track every Slack thread. Attend every meeting. Read every doc. Respond to every ping.

Reality: 90% of “urgent” context has a 4-hour half-life.

You need better filters, not less chaos. **

2/ Most PMs batch emails. Elite PMs batch context.

First hour: Strategic inputs (roadmap, vision, major decisions) Mid-morning: Dev blockers and design reviews Early afternoon: Tactical inputs (bugs, features, quick wins) Late afternoon: Stakeholder updates End of day: FYI inputs (updates, announcements)

Context switching kills. Batching saves. **

3/ Stop using your brain as storage. Start using it as a processor.

Decision log: Every decision, who made it, why Context queue: Inputs waiting for batch processing Filter criteria: What gets immediate vs batched attention Archive system: Where old context lives when needed

Your brain processes. Systems store. **

4/ Filtering IS the job.

Not processing everything. Not responding to everything. Filtering.

Developing better filters = growth in the role. **

5/ Built 40+ AI prompts that build these filtering systems for you.

Prioritization frameworks. Decision logs. Stakeholder filters.
