How I Work When Answers Are Everywhere
Sometimes work moves very fast with AI.
Drafts appear quickly.
Ideas form rapidly.
Tasks get completed in minutes.
It feels productive.
But later, I notice something.
I moved fast —
without thinking deeply.
The problem wasn’t speed.
It was shallow movement.
I realised I was finishing steps
without fully engaging with the work.
That’s not progress.
That’s acceleration without depth.
The AIYING move I use
I don’t measure progress by how quickly something is done.
I ask this instead:
“Do I understand this better than before I started?”
Sometimes I add:
“What did I notice while doing this?”
That’s all.
Why this works
These questions slow the mind just enough.
I stop rushing through outputs.
I start observing my own thinking.
AI helps me move —
but I ensure I also learn.
What actually changed for me
I stopped equating speed with effectiveness.
I started valuing depth alongside completion.
Work began to feel meaningful —
not just efficient.
Try this today
After finishing something quickly with AI, pause.
Ask:
Do I understand this better now?
Notice what changes in how you see the work.
Clarity is a practice. AI is a participant.
