Friend, you know that feeling when your to-do list just won’t quit? You’re juggling work, kids, chores, and trying to snag a few sacred minutes for yourself. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could clone myself,” I’ve got news: ChatGPT is basically the next best thing. It’s like having a super-smart assistant who works 24/7, doesn’t need snacks, and never says, “I’ll get to it later.” Game-changer, right?
Let me share how ChatGPT has been giving me back my time (and sanity) so you can see if it’s your next secret weapon, too.
The Mental Load Is Real
Mamas, we carry so much. Meal planning, appointment scheduling, remembering your toddler’s favorite stuffed animal’s exact coordinates—it’s a lot. Before ChatGPT, I felt like my brain was a web browser with 87 tabs open, half of which were frozen.
Now? I let ChatGPT take on those little-but-important tasks that used to zap my energy. Need dinner ideas with just chicken and broccoli? Boom, solved. Want a thank-you note that doesn’t sound copy-pasted? Done. It’s like having a brainstorming buddy who’s always available and never judges your questions (even the silly ones).
It’s Not About Doing It All
Here’s the deal: ChatGPT isn’t about doing everything for me. It’s about giving me the headspace and time to focus on what really matters. Instead of spending 45 minutes planning meals or rewording emails, I can use that time to play a board game with my kids, go on a walk, or—gasp—actually sit down and drink my coffee while it’s hot.
ChatGPT doesn’t just lighten the load; it lets me be more present. And friend, isn’t that the dream?
A Lesson in Letting Go
A few years ago, when I was scaling my business, my mentor gave me a challenge: Write down tasks that someone else could do at least 80% as well as I could. Simple enough, right? Except, oh my lanta, letting go of control felt impossible. My inner perfectionist screamed, “No one can do this like I do!” And honestly? It wasn’t wrong. But the point wasn’t perfection—it was about creating space for me to thrive.
So, I started small. I handed off tasks to an assistant and quickly realized something freeing: good enough is often exactly what you need. ChatGPT works the same way. Sure, it might not write an email or plan an itinerary exactly like you would, but it’s pretty incredible at getting you 80% there. It can draft ideas, brainstorm solutions, or even polish your to-do list.
Here’s my challenge for you: Write down a few tasks ChatGPT might handle 80% as well as you could. Think asks like, “What does this mean?” “Calculate [your need].” “Brainstorm [topic].” Start small and see where it takes you. Spoiler alert: it might just change how you manage your time.
