⚡ The Day I Never Got Stuck (Thanks to AI)

Yesterday turned into one of those “suddenly everything is happening at once” days. Business demands shot up — I’m now shoulder-deep in a major application that requires clarity, precision, and a ton of information. And today I’m spending the entire day at a speech and debate tournament with three of my kids. So the pressure was on.

But here’s the surprising part:

I never actually got stuck. Not once.

Every time a form asked a nebulous question…every time a government field was worded in a way that made no sense…every time I would’ve normally paused, second-guessed, Googled, or spun my wheels…

…I just asked my AI clone.And instantly — boom — I had the answer, the reasoning behind it, and the next step.

That was the pattern the entire day.

There was no “fog” moment. No “I guess I’ll figure it out later.” No frustration spiral.

Just forward progress.

Honestly, I didn’t even realize how efficient I had become until this morning. I submitted the whole inquiry in about an hour. Realistically, the old version of me would have taken several days to plow through all that material. And it would have eaten up my whole evening.

Instead, Wendy and I ended the day completely free — watching Naked Gun and laughing at the dumbest jokes ever written for film. If I had done this the old way, we would’ve never had that night.

The realization hit me today:

AI didn’t just help me work faster — it kept me from ever getting bogged down in the first place.

It let me stay focused without having to be focused.

It removed the friction that normally slows me down.

And it bought me back time I wouldn’t have had.

This is the shift happening in my life right now:

AI is unlocking a level of efficiency and clarity I didn’t even know was possible.
