I catch myself using AI tools not just to speed up my work, but to delay my own decision-making.

It’s entirely too easy to ask a bot for "more ideas" instead of taking a firm stance and putting my actual thoughts out into the market. AI is an incredible assistant, but it's a terrible place to hide from visibility. How do you ensure you are using AI to execute, rather than to procrastinate?

I go on way too many AI sidequests. I don't have a great system for keeping it in check, aside from being honest with myself. "Is this actually saving you time and effort, or is it a waste of both?" I usually have that answer within 15-20 minutes of plugging away at something.

That's an interesting way of looking at the situation. I've used AI tools to do some brainstorming and I understand what you're saying. You can wind up with choice overload. That's already a big problem in business, perhaps we're just making it a lot worse.

Well you have to set your own guidelines. Try doing it before you start prompting, such as I’m going to only spend 10 mins with AI and only hear top 5 options. Based on the responses I will make a decision.

I recognise that habit too. Tools are useful for brainstorming, but they can become a comfort zone. At some point leadership means committing to a decision.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
