Just an old man finding I am falling behind in a lot of categories in life. I am hoping learning to use AI in a productive way helps me catch up and reduce the gaps or at best keeps me somewhat even with the pace of progress.

Today I scored six activities based on how much time they take and the value of improving them. The result gave me a clear starting point: a Job Search & Shortlisting Agent. Looking for a junior Windows System Administrator or Windows System Administrator role in East Flanders, Belgium, involves checking several websites, comparing requirements, and deciding which vacancies are worth pursuing. That activity ranked highest in my matrix: - Job searching and shortlisting: 25 - Email review and spam filtering: 16 - Candlestick pattern analysis: 15 My first agent will bring relevant vacancies together in one place, remove duplicates, and explain why each role might suit me. I’ll still decide which jobs to apply for. For me, success means spending less time searching across websites and having a useful shortlist with links, locations, and requirements to work through. I also set a clear personal boundary: checking outstanding payments and making those payments will stay with me. Today’s matrix is saved in agent-priority-matrix.md, alongside my context seed from Day 2. I now have a specific first project to develop—one that could save me time and support my search for a new job.
