What happens when you give a language model access to your daily life?

I’ve been working with ChatGPT for 90 days to stay on track, avoid burnout, and rebuild my creative routine—here’s what I learned.

This isn’t a “look what AI can do” piece. It’s a “look what we can do with AI” reflection.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. 🙏
It’s been a wild experiment in blending structure with sanity—and figuring out where AI can genuinely support without taking over.
Glad it resonated! Would love to hear how you’re using tools like ChatGPT in your own workflow.

@bcdodgeme I think that is a healthy way to see it, not letting it taking over. I use AI a lot along side productivity. Eg. I write my own blog articles, but I then let AI review it for me and come with suggestions, I don’t let AI do all the coding for me blindly, I use it for pair programming where I’m still highly involved in the code managing the design and architecture of the software etc.

These days I use AI a lot through the new platform MiNest. https://MiNest.ai

@mikelundahl That sounds like a solid partnership—you’re using AI as a co-creator, not a shortcut. 👏
I love that you’re still hands-on with your writing and code while letting AI elevate the process. That’s exactly the balance I was aiming for too - trust but verify!

I haven’t looked MiNest yet, but I’m definitely curious now. Appreciate the tip—adding it to my “productive rabbit holes” list. 😄

@bcdodgeme Just for disclosure, I am the founder/creator of the platform. I think you are a person I would love to hear feedback from when you try it out. Early days, but the platform is getting updates regularly. A big UX overhaul coming soon. MiNest aims to be the go-to platform for AI and agents. Collecting as much as possible feedback from users.

Thanks for the heads-up and transparency, Mike — and I really appreciate the personal outreach. 🙏 I’ll definitely check out MiNest soon and share my thoughts. Love seeing platforms in early evolution phases—it’s when the best ideas (and weirdest bugs) show up. 😄

@bcdodgeme 🙏 . Btw, doing some quick research on icons. If you have a few seconds, would you mind voting for the best icon to represent an AI agent? Would highly appreciate it if you can.
