Busy? Here’s How to Cheat Life with Notion's '2nd Brain'!

If you're juggling 10 things at once, AI can feel like the extra team member you didn’t know you had, available 24/7, no coffee breaks needed, no down time, no crying. ☕️

Let’s be real: if you’re not using AI to simplify your work and life right now… you’re falling behind. But also: there’s a better way to use it than just asking for “5 ideas for Instagram.”

Here’s a practical, step-by-step guide to how the pros “cheat” life with AI; to save hours, learn faster, earn more, and stay ahead without the hustle.

1. Reframe How You Use AI

Most people treat AI like Google. That’s basic.

Instead, treat it like your:

💼 Business strategist
🧑‍🏫 Personal tutor
✍️ Copy editor
🧠 Brainstorming partner

Try this prompt: “You are my marketing strategist. I want 3 lead magnet ideas that solve common pain points for overwhelmed female entrepreneurs. Format: Problem → Solution → CTA.”

Simple, sharp, and it saves 90 minutes of stuck time.

2.Save HOURS With Mini-Automations

Write a list of 3 annoying repetitive tasks you do every week.

Now think: Could AI write this email? Format that caption? Clean up this formula?

Try this prompt: “You are my prompt optimizer. Whenever I send a Notion formula, optimize it with let() and return only the clean version.”

Time saved: 20–30 mins per formula. Set it. Save it. Use it again.

3. Learn Anything 10x Faster

Want to learn Photoshop? Framer? Midjourney?

Try this: “You are my creative coach. I'm designing a portfolio in Framer. Walk me through the layout basics with real examples.”

Learning becomes action. Not theory. You don’t scroll aimlessly — you solve, build, and remember.

4. Save & Make Money Smarter

AI isn’t magic money — but it is a time + cost reducer.
