How to Use AI to Speed Up Your Work
Ever sat down with a long list of things to do — and only got through one? Same. Between emails, planning, content, and everything else, it’s easy to fall behind. That’s where AI can step in — not to do your job for you, but to make the job easier to finish.
In this post, I’ll show you simple ways I use AI to save time — without sounding robotic or losing the personal touch. These examples aren’t fancy. They’re practical, quick wins you can actually use.
Writing and Editing Content (Faster)
Creating content for your brand — blog posts, newsletters, video scripts — takes time. AI tools like ChatGPT or Notion AI can help you:
Turn messy notes into a draft
Rewrite a paragraph to sound clearer
Come up with 10 headline options in 30 seconds
Summarize long articles into quick bullet points
Example: I gave AI a rough outline for a blog post and asked it to organize it into sections. It saved me 40 minutes of writing time. I still made edits, but the hard part was done.
Planning Out a Launch or Campaign
When I’m working on a launch — say, a new course or service — I use AI to help me brainstorm the pieces I’ll need and map out the schedule. I’ll ask:
“What are the key emails I should send during a launch?”
“What social content should go with a 2-week promotion?”
“Can you give me a basic launch timeline for a digital product?”
AI won’t know the exact details of your business, but it can help get you started so you’re not staring at a blank screen.
Organizing Notes and Ideas
If you’ve got 27 sticky notes or a scattered Google Doc of ideas, AI can help you sort them into buckets — like topics, categories, or steps. You can even paste in a messy voice-to-text transcript and ask:
“Can you turn this into bullet points with clear takeaways?”
It’s like having a super-organized friend who loves checklists.
Reusing What You’ve Already Created
AI is a lifesaver for repurposing content. I’ve used it to:
Turn a long blog post into 3 Instagram captions
Rewrite a webinar script into a newsletter
Turn key points from a podcast into a Twitter thread
Tip: You don’t need to keep creating new things all the time. AI can help you rework what you already have — quickly and with less effort.
A Few Final Tips
You still want to review what AI gives you. Don’t copy-paste without tweaking.
Start small. Use it for one task — like summarizing, rewriting, or brainstorming — and build from there.
Remember: It’s a tool, not a replacement for your voice.
AI is Your Shortcut — Not a Shortcut Around You
Using AI isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing what you do faster. It helps you stay focused on the high-value stuff… and spend less time getting stuck.
Want to try it? Pick one tiny task this week (a blog draft, a caption, a subject line) and ask an AI tool to help. You’ll be surprised how far it gets you.
