This post: "If you've ever felt 'AI Overwhelm', please read this."

Specially this part:

Someone can work 12 hours one day and feel insanely productive, but they were just watching tutorials and playing around with new tools.

And this:

Meanwhile someone else sits down for 5 hours, ships the one thing that actually matters, and makes more progress.

I've been in the AI space for 8 months now and once you start getting paid on a project basis, you kinda realize that you have a lot of free time. It's a bit odd at first, but you're in control of your time. And the thing is, if you only work on the main thing that matters, most of the time it's 5 hours of work.

This Monday is a perfect example. I worked on a new project for a client and completed it in 3 hours. At that point I could go ahead and chill for the entire day if I wanted to.

I should mention that I do lead gen every single day. But out of all the tasks I do day in and day out, these are the most important things:

Lead gen
Complete projects

And these things don't take 12 hours. They take 5 to 8 hours, tops. I like working so I do more, but that's because I decide to.

So it's quite true: 12 hours on the wrong thing doesn't matter. But on the right thing? Massive difference.

PS: this is for another post, but back in February I had 4 projects in the same week and worked the entire week. I earned less on all of those projects combined than what I'm making on 2 clients right now this month.
