Time and Energy vs. Use

I have personally only dabbled in AI using ChatGPT and similar. I'm a CPA working for a company and we have several different software systems for different business lines and a whole lot of spreadsheets. I know there has to be a better way of doing things, but without learning more tools (I don't know what I don't know) I have no idea if there is even a way to integrate our current tools or if the time and cost to change systems would be worth any improvement.

Like with business, I wonder how much of my personal time and energy it will take to learn to use these tools.....to what exactly. I am an Xer with a vague sense of wanting to make sure I stay competitive in the workplace, and not fall behind technology wise, but another part of me knows how easy it is to go down yet another rabbit hole staring at my screen for hours on end at home. I crave real connection face to face, which I do get. My hope is to discover what tools would best serve me, to put my energy into and learn those, without feeling overwhelmed or having some kind of AI FOMO.

Anyone else relate?
