Rethinking AI for True Productivity Gains

Most people think AI tools save time but here's what nobody tells you. I spent six months

testing every productivity AI on the market and discovered they actually made me slower at first.

The problem isn't the technology. It's that we're using these tools completely backwards.

Everyone downloads ChatGPT or Notion AI and immediately tries to automate their entire workflow.

That's like buying a sports car and driving it in first gear. The real breakthrough

came when I stopped asking AI to do my work and started using it to challenge my thinking instead.

Before writing any email I'd have AI argue against my approach. Before making decisions

I'd ask it to steambuild three alternatives I hadn't considered. My productivity didn't just improve.
