Chapter 1: What is the significance of AI in today's workplace?
I need a microphone, don't I?
Yeah, you do need a microphone. That is critical. I'm checking the levels and we're all good. Yeah, I've got nothing. Okay, good show. See you later.
Have you recorded yet?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Intentionally, you know, because I've got nothing.
Well, haven't you just been ODing on baseball? Pretty much. Baseball and law and order. I know why you get up so early.

Chapter 2: How does sports influence productivity and daily routines?
So by 6 o'clock in the morning, you've got all your work out the way, and then you can spend the rest of the day just lounging.
Earliest baseball games, maybe 10 o'clock, maybe 11. You can spend the day lounging. Someone's trying to call me. So I'm happy to be ā well, you don't have to take it, mate. We're currently doing a show. I'm just going to send a message that I'm busy. Seems rude, but, you know, you do you. Whatever. Yeah, I mean, I'm lucky I get to watch baseball during the day.
And I often use that time to do things like just go through my inbox because I use a thing called Superhuman, which is just software I've always used for five or six years for my email, which is basically do I want to do it now, later, or never? That's the kind of ā in my mind, that's what it is. And so it's like for every email in my inbox, I go archive, so never. Later, set a date.
So I go two weeks, one day, three days, tell it when to come.
Chapter 3: What productivity tools are discussed for managing emails?
And then it comes back into my inbox at that point. Or I leave it there and then I action at that point. So getting through that during a baseball game, it feels like an action and an activity for me. Yeah. Productivity. We're all different. Yeah. And that's the challenge, right? We were talking about AI in the other show. But that's the thing.
I don't think there's one size fits all for any of that stuff. No, it's not, mate.
There are some days where you're flying and you're just smashing it out and then other days where you can't get past the third paragraph. No. It just depends on what's happening and how you're feeling and what else is going on in your life, I guess.
Chapter 4: How can AI assist in content creation and task delegation?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's a big, big thing to get over every day. I'd love to, like we were talking about on the other show, have an assistant to I can then palm off other things for it to do for me. And if I want to ask her to do this or find out, research something for me maybe or do this.
Mate, I think that broadly exists.
You should really start diving into the ā Like I said in the other show, I've got half a day set aside for me and my brother. Mikey's a real expert.
Depending on the platform that he loves, they all have some form of ā Well, he uses OpenClaw. Claude, he's got them all, mate. Yeah, so Claude's co-work is just amazing. He's a project. Are we going to go and do these things? And then you can just come back to it or it'll notify when it's done. That's good. Which is ā
Chapter 5: What challenges do individuals face when using AI tools?
You know, pretty amazing. I just want to streamline a few things in my workflow, you know, doing things. Ahead of that meeting, what do you think, where do you think the best efficiencies could be?
Not efficiencies, but best savings for you. I reckon in my emails, that would be one. Yeah. May ā sharing stuff to social, which there are stuff that already can do that for you quickly. Not writing because it'll all be me. Nothing's going to change there. All the writing will be all done 100% by me. Yeah, I think ā
I think on the email side, but also the admin side, being able to do other little admin tasks, find this, send that, all those things that I could maybe tell someone else to do on my behalf, that's what I'd like to set aside. That could be anything. That could be return an email or call someone or whatever, research that, and that'll save me that bit of time as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chapter 6: How do personal and professional responsibilities intersect?
I'm fascinated by it because, with the greatest respect to Mikey, our jobs ā and we've said this before ā I just think that in a normal small business, for example, which is probably where Mikey could spend half a day and find them thousands of dollars worth of savings. Oh, yeah, easily, yeah. Because if email equals invoice, then check against this and then process that and pay that, right?
It's kind of a workflow thing. I just feel like other businesses, whether it's different types of business, like a restaurant might operate one way and an accountancy another or whatever, there's ways to use it.
As I said, so much of our life is, and you talk about email efficiency, dude, it's risky because I've noticed with Fixer on mine, I've got to be real careful because I'm getting a Chinese visa and I missed the thing saying application approved. And then you've got to go in and take your passport and everything. So your online application, it was like two days. And Sid goes, did you get the email?
I'm like, I don't remember. Because it went to a different folder. Oh, no. He thought that was just a notification. He didn't think it was important enough to be here.
Chapter 7: What strategies can be used to improve workflow efficiency?
Okay. Whereas, you know, other stuff, it's like, dude, I've told you a hundred times, I don't need this rubbish, so just delete, you know.
I find that my inbox in general, I reckon 90% of it I can delete straight away. All the stuff that comes through, I can say, no.
Forget AI. I think I've told you before, the best thing you do in your inbox is put in, and anyone can do this. Mandate says this to people. Do what Trevor does. An unsubscribe filter. If it's got the word unsubscribe in the email, put it in another folder. I don't delete it. It just goes into a folder called unsubscribe.
Yeah. You did that to me one time, remember? Yeah.
Chapter 8: How do social media and audience engagement play a role in content sharing?
I had unsubscribe or something on my newsletter or something.
In your footer. Well, yeah, your newsletter goes to my unsubscribe folder every week. There you go. Thanks, mate. Because it's a newsletter. Yeah. Yeah? Very good newsletter. And there's a couple of PRs who ā They have unsubscribed emails too. Yeah, and I'm like, you need to start sending normal emails because that's ā I'm not going to see those. So you miss the biggest announcement.
But it's like 1% of PRs. I'm like, you're doing it wrong. Okay. But you know what? If it's ā and also what it allows you to do in Gmail ā Gmail allows you to just press one button and unsubscribe. So I go through the list and I just look and I hover over and it has the unsubscribe button in the folder list. I just go, yep, yep, yep.
So does Apple. You can unsubscribe in the message. You don't have to click on the link. It does it for you. Just click it through.
They're all in one folder. It's super easy. But the bottom line is it takes away the clutter. I still read that folder every day, probably twice a day, because I'm a big fan of my entire inbox being read. No unread messages, right? Yeah, me too. And so at some point of the day, I might just go in Gmail, it's called is unread.
So the tag you type is colon unread shows me all my unread messages, no matter where they are. If it's more than 50, then I've got some work to do, but I can look through it. And if they're all just the unsubscribe, boom, just hit it red, markers red. So yeah, my newsletters and all those things come into my inbox, they get put in a folder and they're marked as unread.
So I know I haven't read them yet so that I can scan through them and then go markers red. Mate, it's a game changer because my inbox is far less cluttered.
Yeah, that could be an issue having so many emails, and we get sent a lot of emails. It's just a real hurdle in some cases.
Yeah, so I'm balancing now this thing of trying to ā and so I'm also ā what else I'm doing in my diary is I'm color coding or action coding. So I'm going, this is TV, this is radio, this is podcast, this is a meeting, this is travel.
