What I Learned After One Month Using AI Every Day

Introduction

I didn’t set out to become an “AI power user.” But like most people these days, I was curious. Could AI really make my life easier? Could it help me write better, plan smarter, or just feel less overwhelmed?

So I gave myself a quiet challenge: use at least one AI tool every day for a month. No pressure. No fancy experiments. Just honest, everyday use — and see what sticks.

Thirty days later, I have thoughts. Some tools changed how I work. Others… not so much. But the biggest surprise? It wasn’t about the tech at all.


How I Used AI (And What Worked)

🧠 Thinking with ChatGPT

Let’s be real — ChatGPT became my thought partner. I used it for:

Sometimes I just opened it to brain-dump everything in my head. It helped me process without judgment. Better than staring at a blank page.

✅ Organizing with Notion AI

I’m a Notion user, but Notion with AI became next-level. I asked it to:

It turned “I should probably do something about this” into actual action steps.

📅 Time Management with Reclaim.ai

Reclaim.ai quietly became my calendar coach. It moved tasks around, protected my lunch breaks, and reminded me to take focus time. I didn’t always follow it — but when I did, I worked smarter.


Where AI Fell Short

AI helped me do, but it didn’t help me feel.

It couldn’t tell when I was creatively stuck vs. emotionally drained. It suggested solutions, but not always the right ones. And sometimes, I just wanted to solve a problem myself — even if it took longer.

Also: AI isn’t great at nuance. I asked it to help with a heartfelt apology once… and the response sounded like a corporate memo.

Final Thoughts

Using AI every day didn’t turn me into a productivity guru. But it did make me more aware of how I work — and where I get stuck.

AI is like a helpful sidekick: it doesn’t replace you, but it walks beside you. It doesn’t fix life, but it gives you just enough support to move forward.

So if you’re curious, don’t wait for the “perfect use case.” Just try one thing today. Ask a question. Draft a message. Plan your weekend. You might be surprised at how far a little help goes.


Thanks for reading! If you’ve tried using AI daily, I’d love to hear your story — or your favorite tools.
