Lately, I’ve been using ChatGPT like a thinking partner, not a search engine. This prompt helped me get unstuck this week. Sharing in case it helps someone else: “Help me sort through what’s overwhelming me right now. Ask me simple questions one at a time so I can get clear on my next best step.” This helped me to slow down and not panic.

A lot of people my age think they’re “behind” because they don’t understand ChatGPT. I don’t believe that at all. Most of us learned computers later in life. We were taught to be careful not to break things. So when something new shows up that looks powerful and unfamiliar, hesitation is actually wisdom. What I’ve learned is this:You don’t need to understand how AI works to benefit from it. You just need a simple way to start using it in your life. Curiosity beats confidence every time.
