Become a Better Version of Yourself and a Happier Employee
In this quick post, I will briefly explain how to escape the intellectual rat race that hinders your progress in projects and may become fatal with the rise of AI. Being in the rat race is like going around in circles in your work and life without seeing how to improve your future. When you let time pass without taking control, you end up no longer fighting for a better future and merely hanging on day by day. You work somewhat like a robot and distract yourself with social media and easily accessible leisure activities.
This procrastination is a poison that prevents us from building beautiful things and progressing harmoniously. To overcome it, you need to find reasons to act and even an obligation to take action. I try to provide some guidance on how to achieve this in my book “The META-Entrepreneur,” but here I want to emphasize the opportunity AI offers to help you escape the rat race.
It’s quite simple to understand, and it boils down to two principles:
- Firstly, to use AI effectively, you will need to completely take control of your way of thinking and working. You can no longer be passive and perform tasks like a robot. This applies to all professions, even if you are a software developer. You will need to think more before acting to better understand what you are doing so you can formalize it in writing and then use it to train your personal AI assistants. You will then do this collectively, following your managers’ guidelines.
- Secondly, you are no longer alone in facing your anxieties and blockages when moving forward and taking action. The more you enrich your AI assistants, the more they will help you find positive solutions to create your projects and improve your working conditions. As your AI practice improves, you will also be able to find AI assistants on the market that suit you best. No discipline or field of knowledge is inaccessible to you thanks to AI. You have access to a powerful intellectual force for just a few dollars a month with ChatGPT 4o. There’s no need to wait for your company to provide you with this tool; you can use it at home with your own data.
But be careful, to fully utilize your AI assistants, you will need to learn to write with high precision. This is the only way for the AI to truly understand you and respond with relevance and high quality. You will also need to develop a critical mind to analyze the AI’s responses and ask it to redo, adjust, correct, clarify, rephrase, complete, and justify the results. This cycle of writing and critical analysis will significantly increase your intellectual capacity. It’s the opposite effect of TikTok, which tends to dull the mind.
That’s not all! Writing and analysis will also allow you to discover new things and therefore innovate. Your creative intelligence will unlock, and you will then leave the rat race to become an augmented person thanks to AI. Finally, if you work in a team, you can share your knowledge with others to further increase your capacity to innovate.
Ultimately, the Write, Analyze, Share, and Innovate (WASI) cycle is the key to unlocking the infernal cage of the rat race. The following figure summarizes all of this.
One more piece of advice before you dive into WASI: you should increase your time spent reading physical books if you’re not reading about 2 books per month. Reading is an incredible aid for unlocking your brain. Most billionaires explain that they read a lot. It’s like a form of intellectual meditation that forces you to dive deeply into your knowledge and accumulate it over time. I recommend reading books in the “paper” version rather than electronically. The physical consistency of the book helps with better brain connection; at least, it works well for me.
Don’t hesitate to start with WASI by creating your first AI assistant: this will introduce you to the wonderful world of creation. This is also how you will become an active and happy employee in your work.
SO, WHAT NEXT?
Nothing more to say but to encourage you to dive into WASI and AI.
