I always feel like I need to say please in case I'm speaking to our future robot overlords.
Good morning!
I don't want to be a hater, but there are very few things for which I have found ChatGPT
to actually be helpful for.
I like using it when I'm feeling stuck on something, like writing a scary email or brainstorming
a video or trying to understand a really confusing reading for class.
Then ChatGPT is like a really good starting point, but I feel like for most tasks, and
maybe this is just my human hubris speaking, I feel like I can do a better job.
But out of fairness, I'm going to give ChatGPT a chance at doing one of the things that I
think I'm best at, which is scheduling productivity.
It's 6:52 right now, so I guess I'll start my day at 7.
I want to give it some freedom and I also want to try a new kind of schedule, so I'm
not going to be too specific when I tell it about my morning routine.
Okay, let's see.
It didn't include breakfast.
That is not one thing that I'm willing to negotiate on.
Please shorten the morning routine to 45 minutes like I told you.
I was having a lot of problems with it.
Also no matter how I phrased it, it would always give me 2.5 hours for writing my newsletter
instead of 1.5 like I told it to.
This is impossible.
Okay, if it's going to be stubborn like that, I will just follow this schedule, but I'll
replace this with video editing.
Okay, let's get started.
I had a few extra minutes before ChaGPT demanded that I start my day, so I tidied up my room
and then I turned to ChaGPT for my very first decision of the day, what to listen to while
I did my stretches.
It was not very helpful because it basically just listed like 10 different genres, so I
had to make the decision myself anyways.
"My name is Sari and welcome to this Rise and Reset meditation."
Out of everything that I do today, breakfast might be what pushes me out of my comfort
zone the most because I always have the same breakfast.
But today I'm going to ask ChatGPT what should I have as a healthy breakfast.
This is giving me decision fatigue.
Please choose for me.
I don't want to have a sweet breakfast.
After a lot of back and forth and a lot of missing ingredients, I finally got ChatGPT
to give me this recipe for spinach and tomato scrambled eggs on toast.
I modified it a little by adding some Colby Jack cheese to it.
I melted it in there, very fancy.
And maybe you could say that I cheated because technically it did first suggest a berry parfait,
but this is still outside of my comfort zone because it's not what I eat every morning,
so I'm going to say that it still complies with the challenge.
Okay, ChatGPT said breakfast and relaxing, so don't mind if I do some relaxing now.
It's Wordle time!
Okay, time for work.
Normally I would spend more time relaxing, but ChatGPT is telling me to get to work.
Let's go.
Okay, the first thing I'm doing is writing an edition of my bi-weekly newsletter, which
you can subscribe to if you would so wish.
Let's see if ChatGPT has any tips for being productive when writing.
Stay hydrated and take breaks.
I have an outline.
I already basically know what I'm going to write about.
Embrace imperfection.
Yeah, when I write the first draft, I'm not trying to actually make it good.
Eliminate distractions.
Let's put do not disturb on.
My desk is pretty tidy.
I'm going to do a 25 minute timer and put some white noise on.
What's a good way to spend a Pomodoro break?
Physical activity.
Let's do some pushups.
Why not?
Your call may be monitored or recorded for quality purposes.
Okay, so instead of 30 minutes, I spent an hour and 15 on emails and admin things.
Yeah, I'm mainly trying to figure out a lot of confusions with things that I need to do
regarding moving back to Spain and also switching addresses in Spain.
But now I get to edit.
Editing should be fun.
So let's go do that.
I'm sorry, ChatGPT.
I had to stray away from your schedule for a bit.
Ta-da!
Let me do it.
I got clean handwri...
What do you want me to write?
Write "productivity"
No, why am I writing R?
Do you know how to spell productivity?
No!
Dog, this is bad.
After that, we went to the gym and I asked ChatGPT to design a workout for me that I
could do only with kettlebells and bodyweight.
And it did a pretty good job.
It had a good variety.
It included the warmup and the cool down and everything.
I just replaced a few of the exercises because they weren't my favorites.
But overall, I was pretty impressed.
For lunch, I had these Korean mayak marinated eggs that are delicious.
I've also been enjoying Dijon mustard on the side of everything for some reason lately.
I listened to an episode of the Sounds Like a Cult podcast, which if you're into podcast
drama at all, one of the co-hosts actually recently sued her co-host.
So there's a little piece of hot gossip for you.
For the rest of the afternoon, I kept on editing.
It's a very time consuming task.
I did manage to export the final video.
I didn't have time to upload it and design the thumbnail and all of that, but that could
wait because now it's time to spend time with my brother.
We took a bit more time than ChatGPTscheduled for us because then we just drove around at
night and listened to music for a little while.
I'm so tired.
So it tells me to disconnect from screens at 9:25 and then do meditation at 9:40.
Today's the first time in forever that I'm meditating, period, but back when I used to
try to meditate, I'd always do it midday because right after waking up or before going to sleep,
I would be too tired and I would fall asleep while meditating.
So this will be interesting.
I'm going to look for a 15 minute guided meditation.
Let's see if they have a sleep category.
Wait, no, these are like for when you're lying in bed, I think.
Here we go.
I normally journal digitally, but in the spirit of disconnecting from all screens like ChatGPT
suggested, I actually journaled on a notepad with a pen and then I took a photo of that
and put that in my digital journal, but it was nice to not look at a screen.
The book I'm reading right now is actually very fitting.
It's called AI 2041: 10 Visions for Our Future.
It basically combines short fictional stories about how the world might look like in 2041
with AI with an analysis right after each story of how realistic and how likely to come
true each scenario actually is.
Maybe not what ChatGPT meant by a relaxing story.
But yeah, this was an interesting experiment.
I mean, my conclusion unsurprisingly is still that I can do a better job scheduling.
I think my favorite parts of it were trying something else for breakfast and also trying
meditation in the morning and evening.
That was very nice and calming.
So I think in the same way that I use ChatGPT for work only when I need to like brainstorm
ideas or find a starting point, I think I would only find it helpful to like shake things
up in my routine or spice things up.
But it was a good day.
Thank you for watching this video and following along with me.
I'm so excited to sleep with the thunder outside.
This is the best.
I'll see you soon.
Bye!
