I am just now starting to use AI to help me manage my schedule. I told AI what I have to do everyday between therapy appointments, doctor appointments, billable hours requirements, commuting time, my side hustle, etc. I told it to create a schedule for me on this basis. I had to add some more info into the prompt but it actually came up with a solid work schedule for me. Also told it I have ADHD, so it considered that when making my schedule. Sharing in case helpful

On that topic, one of the best pieces of advice I received was to treat time like money: make a budget and factor in “cash flow.” It’s not enough to finish your to do list, you want to do it without working late.

I’m a glorified short order cook. 5 entrees come in on an order, they all require different things and have different cook times, but they all need to come out at the same time.

Instead of using the real deadline, I break a task into sub-components and each of those gets a deadline.

I’m constantly checking my 3 day calendar to see what’s coming up and if things need to be rearranged; and weekly I meet with my staff and we cover the calendar for the next 3 weeks. By being more mindful of “cash flow” it eliminates a lot of fire drills.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
