real:world AI for real:work.
Practical tips, prompts, and strategies to help you use AI with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Stop Overthinking
Copy and paste the following prompt into your favorite AI tool:
I'd like to explore the tasks that bring me energy and the ones that drain me. Ask me five reflective questions, one at a time, to help identify patterns and uncover why certain tasks fuel or exhaust me. Then, analyze my responses to identify areas where I naturally excel and any potential blindspots that could limit my professional growth. Remember to ask me the questions one at a time.
I worked with ChatGPT 4o to create this exercise to help you uncover patterns in your work that fuel or drain your energy, leading to deeper self-awareness and strategic adjustments. Here’s why this approach is valuable:
- APatterns Become Clearer When You Verbalize Your Experiences:
Describing both energizing and draining tasks reveals recurring themes and underlying motivations. AI can analyze responses objectively, identifying strengths and hidden talents that might be difficult to see on your own.
- Exploring Blind Spots is as Crucial as Recognizing Strengths
It’s easy to focus on what we do well, but real growth comes from identifying areas where our instincts might be limiting us. AI provides a “mirror” without bias, helping pinpoint potential pitfalls and offering constructive reflection without personal judgment.
- The Process is Just as Valuable as the Outcome
Because AI processes responses with pattern recognition and structured reasoning, it can identify strengths that people may dismiss or fail to articulate clearly. The external perspective provides validation and a new way of seeing your abilities.
Try this exercise for yourself and email me to let me know what resonated with you.
Important note: This kind of AI-powered reflection can be useful for aspiring solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals seeking to optimize their workflow, energy management, and decision-making. The key is engaging in the process with curiosity and an open mind.
Important note: While AI can highlight strengths, it’s essential to balance its insights with real-world validation, self-awareness, and feedback.
That's where I come in as your AI Strategist and Coach to help you probe deeper, challenge assumptions, and ensure the analysis is both aspirational and grounded in reality.
