After using AI intensively over the past few weeks, I realised something interesting. My way of working has completely changed.
In the past, I spent almost the entire day operating my computer—writing, editing, checking, and executing every task myself. Today, my computer is running multiple AI agents at the same time. One is writing, another is researching, another is designing, while another is analysing data. My role is no longer to do everything manually.
Instead, I wait for the first draft. I review it, make adjustments, approve it, and let AI continue improving. My value has shifted from execution to judgment. The keyboard is no longer where I spend most of my time—my thinking is.
What the Waiting Moments Became
What surprised me most was what happened during those waiting moments. Instead of rushing to the next task, I found myself picking up a book, enjoying a coffee, or simply thinking about bigger ideas. It feels like a break, but in reality, it’s becoming some of my most productive time.
The Better Question
People often ask me whether AI will take away our jobs. I think a better question is this: When AI gives us back time, what will we do with it? Will we spend it scrolling through social media, or will we invest it in learning, reading, thinking, and becoming better leaders?
For me, that’s the real promise of AI. It isn’t replacing people—it is giving us the opportunity to focus on the things that only people can do: think deeply, make better decisions, and create a greater impact.
How has AI changed the way you spend your time? Has it made you busier, or has it given you back time to learn and think? I’d love to hear your experience in the comments.
