Best way to transition is by knowing the product to its core and caring about it.

MUCH easier to do this internally. You won't ever jump into product externally with no experience, and if you do, you're gonna have a terrible time.

I'll also expand upon my answer. Be a real valuable and empathetic partner to the product team while you're at it, and then make your intention known to product leadership once you've established yourself as that valuable partner.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
