As we get closer to the end of the year, don't forget to take breaks and look after yourself! Today I'm flying to Germany to see my sister for Thanksgiving, and I'm completely disconnecting for the next few days. So I'm posting this a day early to make sure I still say hi! ☺️ I want to make sure to sprinkle a bit of value before I hop on the plane, so if you are doing any holiday shopping or taking advantage of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals, I've got something that will help. OpenAI released a shopping research assistant in ChatGPT. I gave it a try yesterday and was able to describe in detail what I was looking for, and it gave me pretty ideal results. It took me through a series of multiple-choice questions to gather further context, had me decide which options might be suitable, and then shared some products with me. It was great! Plus, you can add follow-up questions or interest points if it's not quite right. I've provided the link below, and I hope that helps with some of your shopping and gift-giving endeavours! Introducing shopping research in ChatGPT | OpenAI Click the link on the page to try it out in your ChatGPT For any of you celebrating Thanksgiving, I hope you have a wonderful time with your friends and family, and to everyone else, I hope the rest of your week and weekend are relaxing and productive! See you next week! Don't forget to take breaks, stay hydrated, and have a bit of fun along the way! Architect Anna

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful week! It's nearly the weekend and it's nearly the end of 2025 😮 So to help you achieve your 2025 ambitions with the time we have left this year, I've created 2 prompts to guide you through the process. One is a more gentle strategic planning prompt for the next 30 days and the other is ruthless; pick your poison. The prompt exercise itself will take 20-30 minutes. I would recommend dropping the prompt into ChatGPT or your chatbot of choice on your computer for ease, and then once it asks the first question, switch over to your phone and app version. This is so you can answer the questions by dictation, as you can speak more freely rather than typing. I feel that when dictating answers to a chatbot I am much more able to add in all the beautiful ramblings and context it needs to do a great job. (there should be a little microphone button next to the chat reply, press that and keep your responses under 2 minutes, or it might not transcribe, which can be annoying) Once it has gathered all your responses and you've had a conversation (or inquisition, if you choose the ruthless version) the chatbot will produce a guided timeline and helpful instructions for you to follow to achieve your goals over the next month. This next step will also take a bit of time. It will take about 10 minutes to read through carefully and then about 10-20 minutes to make notes, add things to your calendar, and coordinate your execution plan. In total, this exercise may take up to an hour, but if you want clarity and control over the next month, it would be an hour well spent. Good luck! And as always, any questions or support you need, please comment below, I'm more than happy to help! Architect Anna

Is there anything that you are trying to achieve right now, but it's just not quite working? A good thing to do is to try to identify the culprit! Weekend Homework ☺️ Go into a chatbot and tell it about what you are trying to do, and get it to ask you questions to identify the root cause of what is stopping you from succeeding. Then, once you feel like you've found out exactly what that is, ask it to be a coach to guide you through the process of closing that gap and provide steps you should take over the next 30 days. We are getting close to the end of 2025, but there is still time to set things in motion and start 2026 super strong. Why start New Year's resolutions in January? You can make those changes today. I'd love to know, either currently or in the past, which of the below has been the biggest issue for you to overcome? Fear of failure, lack of self-confidence, a plan, or support, discomfort, skill gaps, money, time? Have a wonderful weekend, and as always, drop in any questions in the comments and let me know any support or resources you might need. Architect Anna

Hello! I hope you've had a wonderful week! Nearly the weekend 🥳 So I thought I would share a few core future skills that will help you in the years ahead. You may already possess these, but as I say, there is always room for improvement. Key skills to help you thrive in the future: - Critical Thinking - Creative Thinking - Strategic Thinking - Adaptability - Resilience - Problem Solving - Emotional Intelligence - AI Literacy Just to name a few. Today I thought I would talk about adaptability. This may not be a skill you were born with, but one you developed over time as you battled through whatever life threw at you. I put adaptability and resilience in a similar bucket, as they are the ability to change and bounce back. If you had to take a few minutes to trace back the moments in your life that made you adaptable, what would they be? They may have been very hard times, but I'm guessing that as you overcame them, you grew stronger? A few times I can think about ... - Living in 4 countries by the age of 15 - Failing the International Baccalaureate - Failing a project in my Bachelors degree (and having to redo an entire year) - Failing a project in my Masters degree (and having to redo an entire year) - Rupturing my ACL a week after I moved to London and ending up in a wheelchair - Getting fired from my job as a Chief Marketing Officer and having to go on Universal Credit - Compromising my living situation for several years to avoid going further into debt - And many more examples with varying degrees of pain and suffering But each of these things, while unpleasant at the time, made me stronger and prepared me for the next thing life had in store for me. As someone who is very ambitious, I always knew that ambition might come with untold difficulties. Because the more you try to do, the more likely you are to fail. If someone has never tried to do something hard or pushed themselves out of their comfort zone, they may have never failed, which may seem like a good thing, but I think failure should be celebrated because it means at least you tried!
