You aren’t too busy

Juggling a busy schedule with a desire to learn new things and even shift careers can feel overwhelming. But what if you could transform those “in-between” moments, like waiting for your next Amazon Flex delivery or your stepdaughter’s school bell, into opportunities for growth and creativity?

With the help of AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, it’s possible to unlock knowledge and build a writing portfolio, even from the driver’s seat! Here’s how:

Example: Instead of scrolling through your phone while waiting for your next delivery, use that time to brainstorm a few topics you’re curious about. Are you interested in learning more about coding, marketing, or project management? Jot down your ideas in a note-taking app.

2. Prompt and Go

Whenever you have a few spare minutes, use your phone to send a quick, specific prompt to an AI writing assistant. Ask it to draft a blog post, generate ideas, or summarize a complex topic.
