Here are 3 ways I use AI to organize my life:
1. Memory Offload
Mental clutter comes from trying to remember everything.
The invisible cost: you're spending energy retrieving information instead of creating something new.
If AI can do it, let it.
Focus your mental energy on what only you can do:
- Creating new offers
- Innovative content
- Strategic decisions
- High-leverage work
I built a system where nothing important lives in my head anymore.
Once a month: Personal Board Meeting
- 10-year goals
- 3-year goals
- 1-year goals
- Next 90 days
End of month: Reflection
What went well?
What didn't?
2. Decision Compression
Great lives aren't built on more decisions.
They're built on making fewer decisions, better.
My daily motto: less but better.
Decision fatigue is one of the largest productivity killers.
It comes when you're making way too many decisions, small and big, from this person, then that person.
By the end of the day, you're exhausted.
The truth: most decisions don't deserve your raw thinking.
But we treat them all like we need to do them all.
Founders drown in decisions:
- Hire this person or that?
- Launch this offer or wait?
- Take this meeting or protect time?
It never stops. The cost is mental exhaustion.
Here's how I cut my decision load by 90%:
I built an AI decision filter trained on my principles, my context, and my life.
Not a calculator. Not a strategy bot.
A decision filter trained on my principles, my history, and the mentors I've learned from.
Reserve your cognitive load for the decisions that most need you.
3. Systemization
I used AI to turn everything in my head into repeatable, scalable infrastructure.
About a year ago, I realized something terrifying:
Parts of my business only existed in my head.
That's not good. It means they rely on me going forward.
My system:
- Explain something 2x
- Record a Loom of the process
- Do something 3x in one week
- Create a Claude project for that task
Slowly, the things that lived in my head started living in the systems.
My business didn't just scale.
It got beautiful and easy to run.
