I used to believe being “busy” was the price of building something. But when you’re juggling kids, jobs, and a side hustle, “busy” just feels like burnout. Once I leaned into AI, I realized there were whole categories of work I could stop doing altogether. Here are five things I happily cut from my to-do list.
1. Writing Emails from Scratch
AI drafts my welcome emails, nurture sequences, and even subject lines. I tweak the tone, but 80% is already done.
2. Spending Hours Making Graphics
Canva Magic Studio now builds on-brand images for my blog, social, and lead magnets. What took 3 hours? Now 10 minutes.
3. Research Rabbit Holes
Instead of 20 tabs open at 1 AM, ChatGPT summarizes trends, compares affiliate programs, and gives me bullet-point answers.
4. Overthinking Social Media Captions
Microsoft Copilot + ChatGPT generate caption templates. I paste, edit, schedule, and move on.
5. Repeating the Same Admin Tasks
From blog formatting to file naming, Systeme.io automates so much of the boring stuff so I can focus on the creative parts.
Wrap-Up
The best part of AI isn’t that it “does more.” It’s that it frees me from doing things I never liked in the first place. If you’re ready to ditch the busywork, grab my Autopilot Starter Pack—I included all the tools and prompts that keep my business running while I live my actual life.
