One Question I Ask Before Trying Any New AI Tool π€
One thing I keep coming back to while listening to these summit sessions is this: If AI feels like itβs moving faster than your brain can comfortably track, that doesnβt mean youβre behind. It means youβre human π§ A lot of AI overwhelm isnβt actually about skill level. Itβs about our nervous systems trying to orient inside constant change. For me, the most helpful shift hasnβt been learning more tools. Itβs been slowing my response just enough to choose what actually matters for my work and my business. So hereβs the question I ask myself before trying any new AI tool, feature, or update that pops up in my feed π β
οΈDoes this help me do something I already care about better, faster, or with less friction right now? - If the answer is yes, I explore it calmly. - If the answer is maybe later, I save it. - If the answer is no, I let it pass without guilt. That one pause has saved me so much mental energy! If you want a practical step you can try today, hereβs a very meta one π
Yes, weβre using AI to help with AI overwhelm. β

Before I do, ask me a few simple questions to clarify whether this supports my current priorities or can wait, like What problem am I actually trying to solve right now? and Do I need this now, or is it okay to park it for later? Curious to hear from others here π Whatβs one specific AI tool or feature youβve felt pressure to try lately?
