I sent this out last Friday, and now after a week has passed where I was AI-ing a lot, it feels even truer. I cannot stress enough how important it is to regularly (or entirely?) unplug from the robots and find hands-on, creative work to lean into. I’m pretty certain you’ll find a level of satisfaction and joy that you may not consciously realize you’ve been missing. I’ve spent the entire day so far OUTSIDE of Claude, haven’t opened it once. Wasn’t intentional, it just turned out that the work I was doing didn’t need an assistant, and I happened to hit a good flow. I ended up slowing down, reading more carefully, and prioritizing my todos for the day to what I could realistically get done vs. piling on like 7 things in the background. And I gotta say it’s been lovely. I would argue it’s been one of the best feeling, productive mornings I’ve had in a while.
