🚀 The Uncomfortable Truth About AI Productivity
Here's what nobody wants to hear:
AI won't make you more productive if you're already working on the wrong things.
Let us explain.
The Productivity Trap:
Most people approach AI like this:
"I have 50 tasks on my to-do list. If AI helps me do them faster, I'll finally get ahead!"
So they use AI to:
✅ Write emails faster
✅ Create content faster
✅ Respond to messages faster
✅ Complete tasks faster
And what happens?
They complete all 50 tasks... and their business doesn't meaningfully improve.
They're still stressed. Still overwhelmed. Still feeling behind.
Because they used AI to do the WRONG things more efficiently.
The Real Question:
AI doesn't ask: "How can you do more tasks?"
AI should force you to ask: "Which tasks actually matter?"
Here's the uncomfortable truth:
If you're spending your time on:
→ Busy work that doesn't move the needle
→ Low-value tasks that feel productive but don't create results
→ Reactive work instead of strategic work
Then AI just helps you do low-value work faster.
And that's not productivity. That's just exhaustion at a higher speed.
What AI Productivity Should Actually Look Like:
Step 1: Identify your $10/hour tasks vs. your $1,000/hour tasks
$10/hour tasks: Anyone could do these (admin, formatting, scheduling, data entry)
$1,000/hour tasks: Only YOU can do these (strategy, sales calls, creative vision, high-level decisions)
Step 2: Use AI to eliminate or automate the $10/hour tasks
Not do them faster. ELIMINATE them from your plate entirely.
Step 3: Reinvest that time into your $1,000/hour work
This is where real business growth happens.
Real Example:
Person A (Doing More, Growing Less):
Uses AI to:
→ Write 20 social posts per week instead of 10
→ Respond to emails in 5 minutes instead of 15
→ Create content outlines in 10 minutes instead of 30
Result: Working just as hard, posting more content, but revenue stays flat.
Why? Because content volume wasn't the bottleneck. Strategy was.
Person B (Doing Less, Growing More):
Uses AI to:
→ Automate routine email responses entirely
→ Generate content drafts that require minimal editing
→ Summarize research so they can make decisions faster
Then reinvests that saved time into:
→ High-level strategy sessions
→ Personal outreach to ideal clients
→ Refining their offer and messaging
Result: Working less, creating less, but revenue grows because they're focused on high-leverage activities.
See the difference?
The Test:
Ask yourself about every task you're using AI for:
"If I do this task faster, will my business grow?"
If the answer is "Not really, it just needs to get done" → That task should be eliminated, delegated, or fully automated
If the answer is "Yes, this directly impacts revenue/growth/results" → That's where you should focus your energy (with or without AI)
The Hard Truth:
Most of what you're doing every day doesn't actually matter.
It feels important. It feels urgent. It feels productive.
But it's not moving your business forward.
AI gives you the gift of time. But only YOU can decide what to do with that time.
You can use it to do more low-value tasks.
Or you can use it to finally focus on the high-value work you've been putting off.
The Realization:
The entrepreneurs winning with AI aren't the ones doing MORE.
They're the ones doing LESS—but focusing that energy on what actually creates results.
Your Productivity Audit:
List 3 tasks you currently use AI for (or plan to).
For each one, answer honestly:
- Is this task actually moving my business forward?
- Or is it just something that "needs to get done"?
- If AI saves me time on this, what high-value work will I reinvest that time into?
Drop your answers below.
Because AI productivity isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters. 🚀
