AI in itself is not a silver bullet.

Similar to software. We use one for music and a different for mail.

We have plenty of different apps to achieve different outcomes.

In Swedish we call the complicated task of living, working, being a parent, taking vacation, cleaning or meeting friends managing the life puzzle.

Is puzzle really the best word for this? Would life balance be better?

Puzzles have a tendency to be finished. But life puzzles will never be done. The only way it could be like a real puzzle is if someone keeps hiding pieces or dragging it to the floor.

I really like the term Slop. One of those ideophonic words that feels like it means.

AI Slop has become like a shorthand word to summarize quickly produced and often indistinguishable content that floods SoMe and you inbox with newsletters.

In the 1500s and forward slop came to describe cheap and ready-made clothing and in 1800s it was associated with mass-produced, low-quality clothing produced by workers with little to no rights or regulations.

Slop has always been about quantity over quality.

A good trait of a leader is to not go bonkers at all times every day.

You might be full on, but your team is possibly not.

Most chat and email tools have features to delay or schedule sending. Use it.

One of the biggest habit changes is scheduling. I’ve seen such an improvement when I block time for tasks and ensure I’m ready to start immediately.

Take making music for example. I don’t want to waste time setting up equipment. plugging everything in and opening apps before I can start creating.

That’s too much friction. Instead pick a few key tools. Make them instantly available. Schedule your time and just go.

When you treat everything as an experiment you give yourself permission to fail. And that’s exactly how we learn and grow.

Sometime we use sunk cost as a reason to do a sequel in our movie called life.

Just because change happens fast doesn’t mean you need to match its pace.

Stay focused on your core business. Everything else can wait.

Sometimes the best move during rapid change is to sit still in your boat. Just keep watching the waters ahead so you know when it’s truly time to act.

But don’t mistake patience for denial. When change affects your core business it’s time to move.

You do not get better by not doing.

Doing is a flywheel that creates momentum.

1. Ask a question
2. Wait until they completely stopped talking
3. Wait a few seconds more
4. Then think about all they have said
5. Then respond

Most listening fails around step 2.
