So last week I had too many days fall victim to "Time Vampires", a term I saw today that perfectly describes about 3 days last week. It all involved packing up 5 ESUs that are heavy, bulky, yet susceptible to shipping damage if not packed well. I made a deal w/another biomed company I've used before to trade 4 of them I was given by a client in exchange for all shipping, repairing and doing a PM on the 5th one for another client rather than me having to pay for those services to be performed. The 4 "redonated" units all require some level of repair, and all 4 need PMs (Planned Maintenance). They weigh about 20 pounds each. I rarely ship OUT anything, and I was trying to use boxes and packing materials I've saved. I still had to buy 1 large box, a roll of bubble wrap, and clear packing tape from Home Depot and just that was $40!!
So before posting this turns into another Time Vampire I'll get to my point: I wanted to at least start to develop and then launch an app last week, but later today I'll finally get to start. I missed the peak of my app riding the tail coats of the "dire wolf" rebirth social media and web search frenzy, although I will still hashtag it and get some additional exposure from it, but if I could have gotten my app built and launched within a week of having the idea, it literally could have gone viral because of the timing and how its features relate.
Instead of hearing the same 30 minutes of crap repeated over and over again on the "news" this morning, I watched some YouTube videos about leveraging Ai for the broad purposes I have planned.
I have realized that this thread isn't just going to be about Ai and how it impacts my life and also all of YOURS whether you take an active or passive role, but it's organically going to have some entrepreneurial and time management aspects to it, including lifestyle facets as well.
I'm still using Ai to generate ways to grow my medical equipment repair and service business, which was the focus that quickly developed once I first began to interact with Ai, but a major part of my future interactions will be utilizing Ai to generate recurring revenue through other means that Ai is uniquely or exclusively adept at doing.
Any one of you who don't have concerns about your financial status may not relate to that, but I learned one of my hardest life lessons in being caught in a vulnerable situation because of being relatively content in just getting by, riding high when I had one or a string of high paying jobs that gave me more resources, aka money, to draw on for recurring bills as well as leisure activities, but then having to grind it out, stressing over making my payments and covering basic necessities when I'd hit a dip in income or have an unusual problem develop, like my AC condenser go out and needing to buy a new one.
I know I'm opening myself up to scrutiny and that some may judge me irresponsible, but I'm working on improving that in as many ways that I can, as quickly as possible, without destroying my soul or love of life by becoming some worn out, beat down slave to the rigors of income generation in the form of trading what hours I may have left in my life for the things that money can buy.
Besides, not many people are likely to read this thread on a regular basis, but for those who do I hope it helps you in the ways you need the most.
One last note or I'll forget: I got some ideas on how to get more and better productivity out of my interactions with Ai by describing the role(s) I need it to play whether it's just for one or several responses or over the course of an entire project, and by making adjustments to its function for specific "texts" that I send. Whether it's "project manager" or "research specialist" and when giving it extra time to do its task will result in an equally better outcome. That is a step beyond my already having recognized early on that when I make some effort to carefully word or structure my questions or requests for actions of the Ai that I'm working with I get a much better result.
it's bad penmanship, structure...
