告诉HN:信息泛滥却仍然错过一切
我需要发泄一下。
作为一名高级项目经理,我真的不知道现在还有谁能把一切都掌控得了。
我的早晨例行程序变成了一个两个小时的焦虑漩涡:
- 检查Slack,看看晚上发生了什么紧急情况
- 浏览200多条未读消息
- 打开Twitter,看看我所在领域发生了什么
- 查看竞争对手是否推出了新产品
- 瞥一眼我订阅的三份新闻简报,实际上从未认真阅读过
- 滚动LinkedIn,因为显然现在行业新闻都在那儿
- 查看Product Hunt,万一有什么相关的产品发布呢
- 偷看HackerNews,了解技术趋势
而在经历了这一切之后?我还是错过了竞争对手推出的一个重要功能。是通过一次销售电话才知道的,晚了两周。
最糟糕的是焦虑。我订阅了12份新闻简报,可能只浏览了2份,根本没有认真阅读过。但我又不能退订,因为万一我错过了什么重要的消息呢?
我尝试过各种方法:
- RSS阅读器(已经死掉了)
- 保存的文件夹(从来不检查)
- 使用ChatGPT进行研究(不了解我的背景,给出的回答很泛泛)
- Zapier自动化(两周后就坏了)
- 只是“接受我会错过一些东西”(焦虑赢了)
我的晚上无尽滚动一半是“保持更新”,一半是焦虑管理。我的伴侣觉得我对手机上瘾。也许我真的是。但这不是娱乐——这是对成为那个错过了大家都看到的信号的项目经理的恐惧。
我花更多的时间在收集信息上,而不是实际思考该构建什么。
还有其他人有这种感觉吗?还是我只是迷失了方向?

I need to vent.
I'm a Senior PM and genuinely don't know how anyone stays on top of everything anymore.
My morning routine has become a 2-hour anxiety spiral:<p>- Check Slack for overnight fires
- Skim 200+ unread messages
- Open Twitter to see what's happening in my space
- Check if competitors launched anything
- Glance at 3 newsletters I subscribed to and never actually read
- Scroll LinkedIn because apparently that's where industry news lives now
- Check Product Hunt because what if something relevant launched
- Peek at HackerNews for tech trends<p>And after all that? I still missed that our competitor launched a major feature. Found out from a SALES CALL. Two weeks late.
The worst part is the anxiety. I subscribe to 12 newsletters. I skim maybe 2. I read 0 thoroughly. But I can't unsubscribe because what if I miss something important?
I've tried everything:<p>- RSS readers (dead)
- Saved folders (never check them)
- ChatGPT for research (doesn't know my context, gives generic answers)
- Zapier automations (broke after 2 weeks)
- Just "accepting I'll miss things" (the anxiety won)<p>My evening doomscroll is half "staying current" and half anxiety management. My partner thinks I'm addicted to my phone. Maybe I am. But it's not entertainment—it's fear of being the PM who missed the signal everyone else saw.
I spend more time GATHERING information than actually THINKING about what to build.
Anyone else feel this way? Or have I just lost the plot?
