By now, you likely have heard about the Artificial Intelligence revolution that is taking the world by the storm. You might have encountered some RPA (Robotic Process Automation) at your workplace. And you might even have noticed that A.I. powerhouses – the leading companies that develop and employ A.I. tools – bubbled up to the top of most valuable companies in the world over the course of short 5 years.

But how is this A.I. thingy working out for you personally? (Sorry if you got automated out of you job – I didn’t mean to rub salt into the wound). I mean, do you have (ro)bots working for you day in and day out? Is A.I. helping you to get ahead and closer to where YOU want to be?

This guide is all about how you personally can start riding the A.I. wave – right now. And I don’t mean reading about Deep Learning or firing up Google Tensorflow. I mean something as quick, as easy and as rewarding as installing an app or opening a website.

No matter where you came from, or where you are heading – having an intelligent and indefatigable sidekick makes the journey so much more enjoyable.

Here is what your personal A.I. can do for you:

• It can warn you if something is about to go wrong with your plan. Do you feel already how awesome it would be to get lost in doing what you love doing, without the need to keep checking how all other things are going?
• It can remind you about something at just the right time and the right place! When the pieces of the getting-lotta-sh*t-done puzzle just fall into their places, it feels like the Universe is playing on your side!
• It can inform your decisions, in advance or on the spot. Cut out the agony by quickly getting the estimates and evaluating your options.
• It can even guide you through some challenging tasks, closely tracking your progress and giving advice you wouldn’t even know to ask for.
• And of course, it can outright do for you a lot of things, from planning your days to cleaning your place.

Why?

In this section, the genre suggests me telling why you should keep reading this and trust my opinion. But honestly, I think you should keep reading only if you feel it would be a good investment of your time (and I cannot promise that, of course). Besides, I cannot tell you why you should trust my opinion at this point – I’m yet to discover the way of providing value to fellow human beings with my work. (And I don’t think that my ‘official’ credentials – like PhD in Machine Learning, 20+ years experience of building software, and long-time personal research into putting machine intelligence into service to human well-being – are any substitute for that.)

Instead, let me tell you why I’m doing this.

Our inboxes gets daily re-filled with newsletters, drip campaigns and LIVE webinar invitations. Together with FOMO and “inbox zero” directive, that locks you in the humster wheel of email-driven life.

Technology is killing our flow. 

Every time you open your inbox, you see newsletters, drip campaigns and invitations to webinar that must be attended LIVE because no replay is available. Together with FOMO and “inbox zero” directive, that locks you in the hamster wheel of email-driven life.

Work email is hardly better – “Cc:” emails take over the role of newsletters, but with expectation for us to reply within 15 minutes.

Productivity apps don’t help either – they seem just adding to the cacophony of notifications and reminders your smartphone emits. Or quietly stare at you from your home screen, making you feel guilty for neglecting what promised to be your salvation.

But social media is the worst. You go there to check out 2-minute video, and get back 2 hours later all drained and clueless how the heck that happened.

In the evening, burdened by all the things you didn’t get around  to, you distant yourself from your loved ones  – or else you just snap at them. 

 And then, you cannot fall asleep painfully wondering how come the day ran away from you – again.   Or you don’t even go to bed, but all tired and slow, burn midnight oil  in hope to show something for the day passed by.

But you know what? It’s not your fault. A good chunk of the technology is specifically designed to harvest your attention like there is no tomorrow.

‘Cause it is your attention that turns time into money. And in this Big Tech game it’s not you who pockets the money.

But what if there was different kind of technology?

Technology that guards our attention, instead of extracting it from us?

Technology that gets to know us – in order to sell us on taking action towards our dreams, rather than sell us more stuff?

Technology that eases us into the creative flow, instead of keeping us high consuming content somebody else created?

Technology that engineers good routines into our everyday lives?

Technology that creates time and emotional space for deep work? Or maybe even does some of the shallow work for us?

I have good and bad news for you.

The bad news is that this technology is not there – yet.

The good one is that this technology is being developed as we speak.

I’m a computer scientist by training, software engineer by day and well-being researcher by night.

Over the years, I’ve observed and systematized how successful people create more space in their lives for the things that matter.

I’ve been able to become the only breadwinner in our family of five without ever working overtime, get into the best physical shape of my life and spend time with my family for at least 6 hours every day (and go on month-long vacations twice a year!)

Now I help other people do the same – make the best use of their time, so they can focus on the things in life that matter most.

With that, let’s see how you can get warned by A.I. when… →
