How do I beat procrastination with Chat GPT and augmented intelligence?

"A year from now, you may wish you had started today." Karen Lamb

I started this article by asking Chat GPT, "How can I beat procrastination with Chat GPT and augmented intelligence?" It spat out a reasonable 6-point response that I have put at the end of this article, but like many Chat GPT responses, it still needs to include my number 1 point of how I now get things done much quicker with AI solutions.?

I start with putting my thought, ideas, framework, or facts into chat CPT and prompt it to give me the output I desire "Write me an email," "Write a 500-word blog post", "give me a great quote about procrastination," etc.

This response to my prompt gives me an instant scaffold to write around so the project has begun.?

As Dr. Ned Hallowell said, "You can do anything if you can just get started." So I can continue to have a conversation with ChatGPT and pull out quotes or develop ideas while in a writing app (Grammarly - which now has an AI component called "Grammarly GO," which I don't use as much as Chat GPT as it is not as intuitive nor does it display my prompts in the conversation). As I write, Grammarly suggests better structures and corrects my grammar and spelling (more AI help).?

The big difference for me is that I have a start, there are other issues I have to deal with, but this gives me a point where I can quickly put my ideas down or flesh out a solution without the mental weight of getting it going. Once I have inertia, the task will get done promptly.?

In summary, the one significant benefit to me of using ChatGPT is getting any task, big or small, started.?

We do have to know what Chat GPT is. In its own words, "Chat GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a type of artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI. It is a machine learning model that has been trained on vast amounts of text data from the internet, allowing it to generate human-like responses to various prompts and questions. Chat GPT can be used for a wide range of tasks, including language translation, text summarization, and conversational dialogue. With its ability to understand and generate human-like language, Chat GPT has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with computers and automate various tasks in the future."

Here is the Chat GPT response to "How do I beat procrastination with Chat GPT and augmented intelligence?"

"Procrastination is a common challenge for many people, and it can be difficult to overcome on your own. However, with the help of Chat GPT and augmented intelligence, you can develop strategies to beat procrastination and increase your productivity. Here are some tips to get you started:

1. Set clear goals: One of the reasons why people procrastinate is because they are unsure of what they need to do. Chat GPT can help you set clear and achievable goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). With these goals in mind, you can create a plan to achieve them and stay focused.

2. Break tasks into smaller chunks: Big tasks can seem overwhelming and lead to procrastination. However, breaking them into smaller, more manageable tasks can make them less daunting. Chat GPT can help you break tasks into smaller chunks and create a timeline to complete them.

3. Prioritize your tasks: Prioritizing your tasks based on their importance and urgency can help you focus on what's most important and avoid procrastination. Chat GPT can help you prioritize tasks and create a to-do list that ensures you're working on the most important tasks first.

4. Use time-blocking: Time-blocking involves scheduling specific times for tasks and sticking to that schedule. Chat GPT can help you create a time-blocked schedule that ensures you're making progress on your tasks and avoiding distractions.

5. Eliminate distractions: Distractions can lead to procrastination and decrease your productivity. Chat GPT can help you identify and eliminate distractions, such as social media or email notifications, so you can stay focused on your tasks.

6. Hold yourself accountable: Having someone hold you accountable for your progress can motivate you to stay on track and avoid procrastination. Chat GPT can act as your accountability partner and remind you of your goals and progress.

By using Chat GPT and augmented intelligence to develop these strategies, you can beat procrastination and increase your productivity. Remember, it takes time and effort to develop new habits, so be patient and persistent in your efforts."

I don't love the last line - don't be patient; use this tool to supercharge your communication and task management - persistence is the fuel.?
