Each week it feels like I'm squeezing more into my calendar. More meetings, more personal and professional projects and constant notifications. May has been a particularly busy month with school activities in the evenings as it wraps up for the summer.
But after feeling increasingly overwhelmed lately, I decided to take my weekly schedule away from Gemini and my Google Calendar and let ChatGPT take over. I asked it to apply the principles from Greg McKeown's book about Essentialis, the bestselling philosophy built around the idea that “less but better” beats constant busyness.
What's interesting is that, although I'm the one who read the book, ChatGPT seemed as though it had read it, too. Because of the AI's understanding of the book and its concepts, it was able to break down the essentials to help me identify the major time vampires in my life.
