If AI isn’t saving you time yet, you don’t have an information problem — you have an application problem. Stop *learning about* AI and go *use* it.
I’m working on an article — "How to keep up with AI (when you’re already overwhelmed)" — and it got me thinking.
Thinking about all the people I’ve talked to who “just haven’t figured out yet” how to make AI part of their workflow. Who “need to see more examples” of how to use it.
I don’t think you need more information. You need more experience. Don’t overthink it. Go to randallpine.com/5x5 and use my free template — or read this article. Set a timer for one hour to test a few prompts on your most common tasks. Find a few valuable, repeatable use cases, make them a part of your workflow, save yourself some time.
THEN come back and we’ll talk about how to keep up with all the AI tools and headlines.
But I promise you don’t need more information to just *start.*
