Unlocking Knowledge On the Road: Learning With AI Assistants in Your Spare Time.
Turning Downtime into Learning and Writing Opportunities
You arenât 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 âin-betweenâ moments, like waiting for your next Amazon Flex delivery or your stepdaughterâs school bell, into opportunities for growth and creativity?
With the help of AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, itâs possible to unlock knowledge and build a writing portfolio, even from the driverâs seat! Hereâs how:
1. Embrace the âTwe-seh shi-ganâ (íě ěę°)

Example: Instead of scrolling through your phone while waiting for your next delivery, use that time to brainstorm a few topics youâre 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.
Example Prompts:
- âWrite a short Medium post about the benefits of learning Python.â
- âCreate an outline for a blog post on effective time management for busy parents.â
- âGive me 3 creative ideas for a Medium post about starting a career in tech.â
3. Review and Learn
