As working dad and mom we’re so time poor. Since I’ve began managing my very own time, it appears to have turn into much more valuable.
Once I used to go to an workplace, I wrote off that point from 8-5pm as workplace time the place I can’t do a lot else. Now, on a regular basis I’ve is as much as me to handle and I actually need to squeeze all the things in.
Freelance tasks, youngsters pickups / drop offs, ‘high quality’ time with youngsters, private tasks, train, social interactions, meal planning. It’s lots.
I’m compelled to make AI work for me in order that I can work higher and sooner, saving me time and vitality to keep away from burnout.
A lot of you who’ve been studying my publication for some time now know that I’ve been experimenting with AI instruments for nearly 2 years now, pre Chat GPT!
There are two dimensions that want optimizing in our lives:
-
Skilled life
-
Private life
The strains between them are blurry, nonetheless if we deal with certainly one of them, I believe it should transcend to each. I’ve began with my skilled life.
I’ve prioritized utilizing AI to optimize my work life to start out with. That’s what pays the payments and if I can get it to help me effectively, I hope to do extra work higher and sooner. In different phrases, I hope to discover a method to scale my work with out burning out or having to rent somebody to assist me.
That is the rationale I’m constructing The AI Content material Co, which is a useful resource for PR & communications professionals, journalists and content material writers to get shifting on their use of generative AI.
The reality is, there isn’t any one method to do it. There isn’t any ‘magic’ instrument, you simply want to select one thing you need to use AI for after which discover a instrument that may do it for you. Then you might want to play with the instrument to see in the event you prefer it!
This may be overwhelming to say the least as a result of you might want to kiss many frog instruments earlier than you discover your prince instrument.
I get despatched info on hundred’s of AI instruments, every single day. I’m a bit nerdy about them so I don’t thoughts ‘kissing many frogs’ earlier than I discover the precise instrument, nonetheless it could actually trigger a paralysis of types; which frog do you begin with? Add to that, you might want to pay for a lot of of them earlier than you possibly can decide if they’re any good.
The AI Content material Co hopes to be a filter and cut back the overwhelm for communications professionals and journalists, so we will give attention to getting began utilizing AI instruments immediately. If this pursuits you, do join the AI Content material Co publication on the web site, in an effort to get notified when new content material goes up.
Since I’ve began working from residence, I additionally have to optimize my private life alongside aspect my private tasks, and the way to try this is a bit on the again burner.
Nonetheless, I’ve began utilizing the PARA technique to organise my digital life in Notion. And, I’m enjoying with the AI instrument Sanebox to see if it could actually cut back the overwhelm of the 400 emails I get on a regular basis throughout 4 e mail addresses (!)
Not AI however I take advantage of Hiya Chef for meals, so an enormous chunk of meal prep time is taken off me, I’d say about 3 hours per week between planning the dishes and ordering the substances. The dishes I decide are 20 minutes to cook dinner or straight within the oven, in order that’s on a regular basis spent per day on meals.
If you wish to use AI as an alternative, you will get Chat GPT to do your meal prep. I write about it right here if you wish to attempt it out!
If you wish to use AI to do something, backside line is, you might want to carve out the time to play with it to know its potential in an effort to see the way it can match into your life. There isn’t any different method.
For instance, in attempting to get a passive earnings stream up and working, I’ve been publishing low content material books on KDP (extra on that one other time!). It used to take me about 3-4 hours to create and publish a ebook; now takes me about half-hour, as a result of I’m utilizing AI! So cool.
I’m excited about working a workshop later this month for these involved in accelerating their studying of AI by placing it into motion and seeing a fast consequence.
The thought is to see how one can obtain the unimaginable with AI in 1 hour – no prior abilities required. In the event you perceive this, you’ll shortly be capable of apply it to your life, be it private or skilled.
I’ll ship you some particulars on what precisely the workshop shall be on tomorrow and if sufficient individuals are , I’ll do the workshop!
Extra particulars tomorrow on precisely what we are going to obtain within the workshop, however an preliminary yay or nay can be nice!
On that observe, I’ll depart you with this quote:
