Sometimes there are so many things in our head. As for me, I would say 80% of them are curious about an endless possibility. I know I would not act on it immediately, they are just thoughts, and we keep thinking so that we do not forget.
The reality is, that these thoughts are taking our time more than we can afford to spend. We become unproductive and lost in our thoughts. You know that your mind sometimes can be a very dangerous place to sit in for too long.
One simple handling method for this is a BRAIN DUMP note or journal. Be it physical or digital, anything should work. So there, you will feel safer, feel more secure that you have your ideas written down. You do not have to overthink, and when the time is convenient you can revisit, and organize your ideas to work on it.
Yes.
That is what I usually do since I learned it from the Productive Muslim course I attended like 15 years ago. Well, nowadays these ideas have become unstoppable, but thank goodness we are in the artificial intelligence (AI) era. I treat AI chatbots as my brain-dumping journal. And it is fun to have non-human entities try to solve our problem and answer all our dumb (and also challenging) questions.
Like last night I was thinking, how do people nowadays make money online? make passive income? Maybe I too could try. So, I brain-dumped whatever that comes to mind, and I get suggestions. It helps me brainstorm ideas and put them into a plan structurally. It is always like that, like having a brainstorming partner that is available anytime (of course when you have devices with an internet connection).
Three popular AI chatbots that I regularly use: Gemini, chatGPT, DeepSeek
As much as we appreciate this advancement of technology that we can utilize, some may undeniably feel worried, and afraid that AI technology will limit human employment opportunities. And these concerns are not unfounded. But hasn't history taught us that technological advancements create new kinds of job opportunities? While AI can automate tasks, it is the uniquely human skills – creativity, critical thinking, complex problem-solving, and empathy – that will remain essential. Ultimately, it is our ingenuity that will shape how AI will impact our lives and our work. We shouldn't be afraid of what's coming, but instead, get prepared. If we keep learning, stay creative, and focus on what humans do best, we'll be successful with AI. And speaking of human strengths, I've noticed something I'm less comfortable with: the tendency to rely too heavily on AI, especially in writing. Yes, AI can be a helpful tool, but I recommend using chatbots as just that – a tool, not a replacement for your own thinking. Your voice and your ideas are important. Keep your writing real and human
That is all from me. (with some help from my non-human companions) 😊
