The Writing in Public podcast returns! Life, including many travel changes, etc, interrupted my normal schedule. But I'm back and starting a new nonfiction book about continual planning. Enjoy!

The Transcript:
This is 60 Seconds of Writing in Public with Johanna Rothman for March 6, 2026, where I read an excerpt of just a minute of some writing in progress.
This is from the continual planning book.
Here’s the problem with unshaped, large work in backlogs or roadmaps. We know where we are (Point A), and where we want to go (Point B). But there’s a large gap between those two places.
We need a miracle to get from Point A to Point B.
However, there is never a planning miracle. Ever. Just as there was never any project management miracle, there is no product planning miracle.
I would love project or product miracles. But hope is never a strategy. Instead, we need enough planning to see what the work is so we can get to Point B.
