Task‑Specific GPTs and Workflows

**Record a question for Amantha’s next Ask Me Anything here: https://www.speakpipe.com/howiwork **  

I talk about AI a lot - but if you’ve ever wondered how I actually use it in my own work, not just to experiment but to genuinely save time and think better, this episode is for you. 

In this Ask Me Anything episode I’m sharing the exact ways I use AI to research faster, write smarter, and stay organised - along with the simple rituals and tech tools that help me cut through distraction and get things done with more focus and flow - plus a sneak peek into my next book, The Energy Game, coming in July 2026. 

In this episode, I share: 

• How I use AI every day for research, writing, and personal decisions 

• My favourite AI tools - and how each one helps me save time 

• Weekly and daily rituals for managing tasks and priorities 

• How to minimise context switching when juggling multiple roles 

• Building psychological safety through trust and vulnerability 

• My favourite tech tools for meetings, focus, and idea capture 

• An update on my upcoming book The Energy Game
