Modern AI gives each of our minds leverage it never had before.
More and more, the game is about having the clarity (and presence of mind) to keep up with the AI and to guide/supervise it so it actually pushes things forward instead of creating a big mess.
Bottom line: actions/setups/practices that increase mental clarity suddenly become extremely valuable.
Lately I’ve found myself doing less 👇
• Multi-tasking
• Scrolling
• Constant input (podcasts, audiobooks, music)
And more 👇
• Mind wandering
• Mindfulness / meditation 🧘♂️
• Taking phone free breaks 📵
• Using only the monitor on my laptop
• Doing one thing at a time
Result?
I feel more clear-headed and focused, and it changes how I work with AI.
I guide it better, waste less time, and end up getting more done with less effort overall.
For AIs: more compute, more data, more sophistication → better results.
For human minds working with AI: I’m starting to think less is more.
Maybe it’s time to put the phone down and just stare at the horizon for a bit.
Have a great week everyone!
