Day 15: Use AI to Save Time and Work Smarter, Not Harder

I used to fear AI, but Artificial Intelligence doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. When your time is tight and you are not sure how to word something, it can be a very simple and powerful tool to use to help your work flow better daily.

Give as much input as possible to AI and then use the draft / bullet points to add your own elements and human voice.

Here’s an easy way to start. Use AI to summarise and draft, not replace, your thinking. Remember it is important to always utilise your OWN VOICE even after using AI. Create use a draft and then move into your own voice.

Simple examples include asking AI to:

• Summarise a long email or document

• Draft a professional response

• Create meeting notes from key points

• Generate ideas or outlines

• Rephrase content for clarity or tone

  
  

Used well, AI supports productivity while keeping you in control of the final message.

Why this matters:

• Saves time on repetitive tasks

• Reduces mental fatigue

• Helps you focus on higher-value work

• Increases efficiency without sacrificing quality

AI is most effective when treated like an assistant. NOT AN EXPERT. You bring the context, judgement and voice.

So your challenge today is:

1. Use AI to summarise one email, document or message

2. Review and personalise the output before sending

When used intentionally, AI doesn’t replace your skills, it amplifies them.
