Disconnected tools. A bloated tech stack. All that busyness. It feels productive—but is it really? Or are you equating activity and busyness with making progress?
Your fragmented workflows keep you in motion, but they’re also the reason you’re not moving the business forward.

My current AI powered workflow as a designer and non native English speaker:
→ I use ChatGPT’s Memory as my operational brain. I fed it my pricing, deliverables and feedback rounds, so when I draft complex client emails, I’m not starting from zero. I edit everything, ✨always✨.
I’m fluent in English, but it helps me catch small grammar or spelling details for extra credibility.
→ When I find myself spending hours 🫠 searching for the perfect packaging mockup I turn to Adobe Firefly to create them. The Nano Banana integration is honestly amazing.
What’s actually working? AI removes admin noise and speeds up exploration although it’s terrible at taste. Strategy and design are still human work.
Which part of your workflow has AI genuinely improved, and which part would you never hand over?
Very thoughtful workflow approach. Curious — what aspect of your process improved the most after structuring memory this way?
I deleted LinkedIn. Not because I don’t believe in networking. Not because I don’t value opportunity. But because I value my mental health more.
So I logged off.
If LinkedIn energizes you, amazing. But if it exhausts you, it’s okay to choose your peace.
Do you have it?
