What you’ll learn

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the ubiquity of AI in our lives? You're not alone! In this video, I share my own anxieties and how I tackled them by analyzing my daily activities to determine the percentage of time spent on AI-related tasks. Join me in Notion as I demonstrate how to effectively use AI to analyze your own work and life. By the end of this video, you'll have a better understanding of your own relationship with AI and how to make the most of your time.
 

How to do it:

  1. Write down the activities that I do every workday.
 
Wake up in the morning and check Twitter on my phone. Workout. Make breakfast. Get my daughter ready for school. Do my own project. Start working (design, research, meetings, document writing, user interviews). Make and eat lunch. Continue working in the afternoon. Pick up my daughter from school. Accompany her to draw or read. Make dinner. Have dinner with my family. Play my guitar or games. Get my daughter washed up for bed. Watch TV shows or movies. Read books. Wash up and go to bed.
 
  1. tidy it as a table.

Starting with the simplest thing, I write down my daily schedule, sort out the time, and list which items are likely to involve AI. After sorting, it appears that 30% of my personal time may involve AI. Because of my work and personal hobbies, AI can basically intervene, so 30% should be a high proportion. 📆
If my work were that of a chef or construction worker, AI might be involved in at most 10%. 🍴👷‍♂️
This is a baseline and also a reminder for me: 70% of my time is not about AI, but about my daughter, family, food, workout, conversations, sleep, laughter, and music. While I’m doing those things, I should enjoy them and live in the moment. 🎵💪💬👨‍👩‍👧🍽️😂💤
By the way, I used Notion AI to help me with this sorting work. I simply wrote down the paragraph on the upper left side and used Prompt to organize it into a table. After getting the table, I adjusted the time a little bit and let AI calculate the time for each project. It was super convenient. 🧑‍💻
