As working dad and mom we’re so time poor. Since I’ve began managing my very own time, it appears to have grow to be 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 not do a lot else. Now, on a regular basis I’ve is as much as me to handle and I actually wish to squeeze all the pieces in.
Freelance initiatives, youngsters pickups / drop offs, ‘high quality’ time with youngsters, private initiatives, 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 power 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 traces between them are blurry, nevertheless if we sort out considered one of them, I believe it is going to transcend to each. I’ve began with my skilled life.
I’ve prioritized utilizing AI to optimize my work life to begin 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 approach 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 a one approach to do it. There isn’t any ‘magic’ instrument, you simply want to choose one thing you wish to use AI for after which discover a instrument that may do it for you. Then that you must play with the instrument to see when you prefer it!
This may be overwhelming to say the least as a result of that you must kiss many frog instruments earlier than you discover your prince instrument.
I get despatched data on hundred’s of AI instruments, daily. I’m a bit nerdy about them so I don’t thoughts ‘kissing many frogs’ earlier than I discover the appropriate instrument, nevertheless it will probably trigger a paralysis of types; which frog do you begin with? Add to that, that you must 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 are able to give attention to getting began utilizing AI instruments straight away. If this pursuits you, do join the AI Content material Co publication on the web site, so to get notified when new content material goes up.
Since I’ve began working from dwelling, I additionally have to optimize my private life alongside aspect my private initiatives, and the way to do 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 taking part in with the AI instrument Sanebox to see if it will probably cut back the overwhelm of the 400 emails I get on a regular basis throughout 4 electronic mail addresses (!)
Not AI however I exploit 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 elements. The dishes I choose are 20 minutes to prepare 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 strive it out!
If you wish to use AI to do something, backside line is, that you must carve out the time to play with it to know its potential so to see the way it can match into your life. There isn’t any different approach.
For instance, in making an attempt to get a passive earnings stream up and operating, 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 fascinated about operating a workshop later this month for these excited about 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 expertise required. In case 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 will likely be on tomorrow and if sufficient persons 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 could be nice!
On that be aware, I’ll depart you with this quote:
