I Asked ChatGPT To Manage My Time and This Happened

over the last 15 years I've tried pretty much every strategy for managing my time because I think that time management is one of the most valuable skills that we can develop while we can always make more money we can't make more time it's our single most valuable non-renewable resource and so for today's video I wanted to find out just how powerful chat gbt is when it comes to time management and organization I wanted to find out if it could help me schedule my life and organize my tasks and what kind of time management principles or systems are used and the results might actually surprise you I've broken this video down into three parts which match what I do whenever I set my goals the next six months to get ahead we'll be looking at what chat GPD can do as it looks at the months weeks and my daily routine to manage my time effectively and help me to hit my goals so let's jump straight in let's start by looking at how chat epd does when it comes to monthly goal planning now I routinely set goals every six months and I've been doing this for the last five years and it's probably the single most helpful thing that I've done that's helped me to get ahead and progress really quickly in a number of areas of my life so let's see how Chachi BT does here we can add in a prompt such as act as a time management and productivity coach that helps people to get the most out of their lives I'll give you a list of goals I want to achieve over the next six months and then you'll provide a breakdown of how long it will take me to achieve each of those goals as well as a yearly planner breaking down progress towards the goals and how to best achieve them try to make my goals more specific following smart goal setting principles output using headers and bullet points for each goal and in this case I've added in a couple of things that I want to achieve over the next six months including becoming Flynn in Spanish growing my YouTube channel going on holidays keeping fit and doing hit classes and growing one of my businesses now as we can see here chat EBT is a fairly good job of outputting all of these goals and breaking them down so that I've got an idea of what I need to be focusing on and how I'm going to do it but because I haven't given it that much information these aren't particularly specific and it doesn't go into a huge amount of detail but if you're just starting planning things for the next six months or year then it's a really great way to get started if you're stuck thinking about what you want to achieve so let's get a little bit more specific here and we'll use the prompt ask me specific questions about my goals to make them more personal and specific and then create a monthly planner for the next six months with a specific breakdown of how many days per month I should be spending on each of the goals I'll put this in a calendar style table for ease of viewing now what that happens is chat gbt asks me a number of questions around the different goals that I've input and then what I will do is I will give it that specificity to then help it to configure what's output next and as we can see here I'm getting this calendar breakdown of what I need to be doing and the amount of time I need to be spending on each of those goals now this is pretty cool which activities actually showing me the time it's going to take to master each of those goals and hit them within the next six months this is giving me some deadlines to work towards and also just gives me an idea about how hard it's going to be to achieve some of these if I was planning things by myself I might have to Google this I might look it up online or I might just estimate it myself for the most part and then turn this into a weekly or daily habit but here with chat DBT it's giving us this top level overview and then I've got a lot more information that I can use to then break things down into manageable goals now if you want to stick to the habits that will help us achieve these goals we want to break these goals down into weekly and then daily habits that we can time block out to achieve every single week and every single day and so again I've used chat EBT here using a prompt which says I want to make sure I'm sticking to these habits in order to hit my goals provide me with a weekly breakdown of an average week fitting in the above actions towards these goals output in a weekly table and provide tips for organizing my week around other important tasks like going to sleep and getting eight hours of sleep and spending time with friends and spending time reading now I could have got even more specific here and given chat GPT my existing daily routine or wind down routine in the evening telling it the exact time that I go to bed and the exact time that I wake up and factoring in other things here however this is a really great first pass and as you can see it's factored in time to relax and I can add this into my weekly diary and then I can tweak some of these things around my existing schedule so if you're sat down on a Sunday like ID planning out your week ahead jumping into chat gbt can actually automate a lot of this and save you time so that you can focus on the things that matter now we can do a couple of things with this information from chat GPT either we can dive into something like Google Calendar and time block out every single second of our day in our weekly planner in Google or we can default to a physical diary like this one that I created for my team at verti where it's got a number of different pages breaking down the month the weeks and the days into different time blocks and so this is what I tend to do on my Sunday afternoons and into the evening planning out what I'm going to be working on for the week and then breaking things down into the day so let's dive into how chaps ubt can help us to break down our daily routine too one thing that I've done for the last decade every single day is to plan out my day the night before so that when I sit down on my desk at 6 30 a.m I know exactly what I need to do this usually flows from what I've planned out for the week but it can take me some time to do so let's see how chat gbt can help me out with this I've used The Prompt build out a daily planner and routine that helps me to hit these goals and stick to my habits for an average day go into detail with blocks of time as if I'm planning out the day the night before and let's see what chapter upt outputs here now because we've stuck around in the same conversation Chad gbt has taken all of the information that we've previously provided it and now it's broken those big six-month goals down into actually daily habits and blocks of time so that we can see what we need to do every single day this is super helpful as it takes those big goals like scaling a YouTube channel growing a business or just hitting the gym every single day and making it much more accessible and realistic for us to then achieve so as we can see here we've got our box of time that we can add in for every single day and we can follow these and it's even added in time to relax and chill out and things like time off to the gym when you might be really really tired or you just want to grab a protein shake or just relax a little bit before getting into any deep work now again we could go back into chapter and optimize this further if there are some things that you want to change and obviously this is just a guide to save you some time so that if you've got regular daily non-negotiable tasks that you need to do like for example going to school or you've got a nine-to-five job you can actually get chat gbt to add in all of these goals and habits we're trying to achieve around your existing schedule now unlike chat gbt we're not all robots and productivity and getting work done is messy and we don't always wake up wanting to get down and do work even me and say sometimes I won't want to follow a routine so let's see what advice chat gbt has for us for sticking with habits on days when we just don't feel like doing them we can use a prompt like give me some tips on how to effectively stick to these have habits every day consider a day where i'm tired and don't want to do everything listed above give me some emergency habit tips to make sure I stick to things even when I don't want to do them and actually the list of habits output by chat gbt is pretty surprising because it's really really good and really really accurate I've used a lot of these in my day-to-day for a number of years and I've even talked about them in YouTube videos previously things like stacking your habits doing things in batches and trying to focus on things that are the most productive now in my opinion good time management is in being able to make the best use of that time not necessarily for only doing productive things but instead to use that time intentionally for things that we want to do if we make things fun and we know why we want to spend our time doing something we're much more likely to actually do it and tools like chat GPT can just save us so much time when it comes to automating those boring repetitive tasks so that we can focus on the things that we find fun and enjoyable I have some great videos covering how to get the most out of AI tools which are definitely checking out which will pop up over here thanks so much for watching and to subscribing and I'll catch you again next time [Music]
