20 years in ecommerce, now CEO of a CRO agency. Probably doing analysis in R or building stuff with AI. Or walking on the beach. Yeah, probably that.

Younger workers benefit more from labor-augmenting tech, like AI.
“In other words, workers who were used to doing things a certain way struggled to adapt when complementary technology arrived, while less-experienced workers could harness the power of these new tools.”

This is why embracing a what-could-possibly-go-right mindset is so necessary for creating positive change. Thinking in terms of best possible outcomes doesn’t mean you ignore potential negative outcomes. It means you avoid those outcomes by envisioning the future you want and steering toward it.

A few places you should probably use AI to help you, based on the research we have (but do whatever you want):
-Idea generation
-Writing (not writing for you, maybe, but second opinions/proofing/etc)
-Advice/finding frameworks to solve problems
-Summarizing documents & meetings
Ethan Mollickx.comFor me, the goal is always to use AI to help people think better. Writing is thinking. That’s it. And if we don’t forget that, I believe the future of writing is going to be very exciting indeed.

Your work is too important to be left to how you feel today. On the other hand, committing to an action can change how we feel. If we act as though we trust the process and do the work, then the feelings will follow. Waiting for a feeling is a luxury we don’t have time for.

If the problem is caused by the thinking mind, it won’t be solved with the thinking mind - always not good enough, internal story lines etc

"I frequently worry that being productive is the surest way to lull ourselves into a trance of passivity and busyness the greatest distraction from living, as we coast through our lives day after day, showing up for our obligations but being absent from our selves, mistaking the doing for the being." — Maria Popova
Be unapologetically yourself in your work . Infuse as much of YOU into the work as possible. It won't be for everyone, but the ones that do stay and listen will be absolutely entranced. It’s better to have a few true fans than a room of half-hearted listeners.

The most successful people. . . often aren't directly pursuing conventional notions of success. They're working hard and persisting through difficulties because of their internal desire to control their lives, learn about their world, and accomplish something that endures.
