🚲 AI is making me productive in unexpected ways

My latest conversation with ChatGPT

Dear reader,

I had a really fun conversation with AI. Let me give you some context: it's 2 pm on a Friday, and I'm struggling to get back to work. I'm not surprised. I know that later in the week, and later in the day, I get lower energy levels and it gets harder to focus.

I seriously can't stand staring at my screen and end up sitting on my couch, wondering whether I should just nap and rest for a bit. I feel like there's something more. I take out my phone, open the chatGPT app in voice mode. Our conversation when something like this:

L: Hey, I'm feeling really tired and low, and i’m struggling to work. Should I just nap or should I try moving?

AI: Well, how long has it been since your last bike session?

L: It's been a couple of days. I'm just feeling so drained.

AI: Why not give biking a try? It might help lift your spirits.

L: OK I guess, but no more than 20 min. I have to get back to work.

20 minutes later, I felt much better and went through my work tasks in a whim. I’m still tired, but it was so much easier to focus. Sometimes it’s just that easy.

What’s a small task that can be a game changer for your mood?

I haven't been writing as much lately. It has been hard to write as a hobby and not as a chore, since I have been a bit overwhelmed. I hope you understand and I hope you're well.

Best,

Lou
