TimeGPT and Lifestyle Planning

The rapid change in innovation of AI technology and AI based platforms is creating amazing opportunities for people to be more productive. We have more chances to save time as human beings than any other time in history. As one who specializes in time management and lifestyle planning, you think I would be afraid of AI based technologies and the potential impact they might have on my business.

Well, I am not.

Time management tools come and go. They have improved people's lives and provided opportunities for more to get done in less time. The workplace has changed dramatically, and what may have taken multiple people to do something as little as 30 years ago, takes about one person a limited amount of time to complete.

Where people continue to struggle (count me among that group) is what to do with the additional time that these instruments provide us in our lives, when we use them effectively.

Take ChatGPT or Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer. On the scene for just a short time, this AI tool is experiencing tremendous growth. It is conceivable ChatGPT could reach a billion users within 18 months. The discussions around its innovation have gone in a variety of different directions. One is the ways is to help people gain access to information faster. Another is the ability to process and provide analysis to data inquiries.

While people try to quantify the ways AI will save them time, there is little in discussion on what individuals can do with the time that they save. If you have a tendency to waste time now, doing something in a shorter period of time does not mean you will use the saved time effectively. It just may give you way more opportunity to apply your time to unproductive endeavors.

Planning should always take place to proactively prioritize the use of time. As AI helps us all, consider the TimeGPT or Time General Preparation Training.

Time General

No tool or system will be effective unless there is a framework around which you try to manage your time. There must be some general system you have adopted that is measurable, quantifiable, and implemented consistently. Otherwise, AI or not, you will only see marginal and ad hoc gains in the use of your time. Your life will still seem busy and hectic – or boring and mundane.

Time Preparation

I train my clients on the concept of time optimization versus time management. The idea is to be proactive in your approach to the way you manage your time, allowing you to anticipate and change unproductive periods on the horizon. To do that, you must invest time on the front end (prepare) to improve the outcome and finish with more satisfaction. Diving into an AI system without understanding its capabilities can lead to a waste of your time. Living life without some sort of plan robs you of time filled with rich experiences.

Time Training

To be accomplished and talented requires taking the time to train. Without continuing education and honing the skills that you have developed, AI tools become a replacement of your mental abilities, and not an enhancement to your brain power. Training on your time management, or optimizing your time, lets you make the most of any tool you put in your hands or on your computer. It allows those tools to make your life more enriched and enjoyable.

I will continue to weigh the impact of the rush of innovation that is coming our way. But I will council my clients to invest time to ensure whatever time they save by using AI is time well spent and not wasted. So, in a ChatGPT world, check yourself with a TimeGPT philosophy.

Let me help you with that.
