JUST DO AI.
You Don’t Need a Course. Just Curiosity (and Daily Practice).
I’m an AI coach.
I show people how to fish in the ocean of AI potential.
I’ve led workshops and done 1:1 sessions with scores of people—helping them turn AI into the most valuable tool in their personal and professional lives.
But "tool" doesn't quite capture it.
What I've witnessed is deeper:
AI is helping people tap into their highest potential, grow like never before, and do the best (and most engaged) work of their lives.
AI is your mirror for self-discovery, a catalyst for creative expansion, and the ultimate partner in your personal evolution.
My work is to show people the magic at their fingertips. It’s such a joy.
And it’s also simple.
In every workshop we do at Coachfully.AI (new website💪), we focus on three things:
Shifting the AI mindset from fear to love, from scarcity to abundance.
Building habits that make people faster, smarter, and more creative.
Using best practices to get the most out of today’s most powerful tools.
This article explains these three things in detail. It’s all you need to get ahead.
If you want to leverage the full power of AI in your life and work, you don’t have much to learn - JUST DO IT.
1. Shifting Your Mindset
The biggest blocker to using AI isn’t a lack of skill.
It’s a mindset stuck in fear, overwhelm, or hesitation. Many people feel like they’re behind, overwhelmed, and may get replaced by AI.
But the truth is that AI is a creative amplifier, not a creativity killer. It’s your most helpful and tireless collaborator. It’s not going to replace you, but someone using AI will.
As Mo Gawdat, the author of Scary Smart concludes:
"The only way forward is to love AI."
This isn't naive optimism—it's a practical approach to ensuring AI develops in alignment with humanity's highest good (and for your own greatest benefit).
To love AI, simply shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance.
This shift isn't just about better results—it's about expanding your consciousness.
When you approach AI as a collaborator rather than a competitor, you open yourself to new ways of thinking, creating, and being.
5 Myths that Keep People Stuck
"AI is cheating or makes me look lazy."
→ Reframe: AI is smart delegation. It's the calculator of knowledge work. Just as calculators freed mathematicians to tackle more complex problems, AI frees you to engage with deeper levels of thinking and meaning.
"AI will take my job."
→ Reframe: AI tackles tasks, not talent. Use it, and you'll become more valuable. AI can help us discover our ideal life path by freeing us from work that doesn't align with our purpose, preferences, and strengths.
"I need to get trained first."
→ Reframe: You don't. You just need to try. AI is like learning a bike—you wobble, then ride. This experiential approach connects you to AI in a more intuitive way, building a relationship rather than just technical know-how.
"AI makes work less creative."
→ Reframe: It clears space for creativity by removing busywork. The most profound human creativity often emerges when we're liberated from routine tasks. AI creates the mental and emotional bandwidth for inspired thinking.
"It’s just a trend. It’s all hype."
→ Reframe: The real integration of AI is just beginning. Ignore it, and you'll fall behind. We're still in the early stages of AI's evolution, but ensuring a positive outcome for society requires a fundamental shift in focus—from advancing the technology itself to developing humanity's capacity to use it wisely.
2. Building Helpful AI Habits
AI isn’t something you need to learn. It’s something you do that folds into your everyday life—like texting, like Googling, or like using social media.
Each interaction becomes a moment of co-creation, a chance to expand both your capabilities and your consciousness.
Here are my three favorite game-changing habits to practice:
1. Start each day with your highest purpose, problem or goal.
Prompt:
"Today my intention is X. Can you help me plan, focus, or optimize my approach?"
Every day you'll be aligning your actions with your deeper Why.
This practice connects your tasks to your larger purpose, creating a sense of meaning that transforms how you experience your work.
And giving it your biggest need will get the AI working on the highest leverage activities that it can help you with.
2. Think with AI (don't overthink alone).
Whenever you're stuck, uncertain, or spiraling, prompt:
"Ask me questions to help me work through this…"
"How could I solve this problem?"
"What's a smarter way to do this task?"
This isn't just about getting answers—it's about expanding your thinking, and getting issues out of our head and into a helpful process.
AI acts as an intimate mirror that can adjust its angle to help us see ourselves more clearly. This reflection helps translate problems, feelings and intuitions into valuable insights and actions.
3. Replace low-value tasks with AI efficiency.
Emails, research, content, proposals, summaries—this is where AI shines. You should be using it every day, for anything you are doing. Stop Googling, and use AI instead.
Prompt AI for everything:
Communication & Writing: Email drafting, content creation, tricky conversations.
Research & Learning: Research summaries, learning acceleration, finding patterns.
Planning & Organization: Meeting prep & followups, proposals, strategic plans.
Thinking & Decision-making: Decision frameworks, clarifying thinking, creative brainstorming, personal reflection.
You'll be shocked at how much mental bandwidth you get back. This isn't just about productivity—it's about liberation.
As we free ourselves from tasks that don't require our unique human gifts, we create space for deeper connection, creativity, and purpose-driven work.
3. Using Best Practices
Most people don’t realize how deep ChatGPT’s capabilities go. And the tech is progressing at an exponential rate, so new features will keep coming fast and furious.
Getting the $20 a month ChatGPT Plus gives you access to all these features - it just might be the best money you’ve ever spent on tech.
And with that, here are some current best practices that will keep you on the forefront.
Using Different Thread Types in ChatGPT
Depending on where you are starting your chat thread from, there are different features and capabilities:
Memory Matters—Here's How It Works
Standard ChatGPT threads… don’t have custom instructions but as of April 2025 they can remember what you've said within other standard threads. You can also manage what it remembers in your settings.
Custom GPTs… remember your custom instructions & knowledge and can act like an expert assistant for any purpose. Plus you can share your GPTs with others. But the memory only works within each thread, so if you want it to remember past interactions just keep using the same thread (rename it so you can easily find it).
ChatGPT Projects… (the most powerful) include custom instructions and knowledge like GPTs, and it can remember across multiple threads and organize conversations by theme. But you can’t share Projects with people unless you have a Team account.
You Gotta use Deep Research
Deep Research is ChatGPT’s AI agent designed for multi-step internet research.
When activated, it doesn't just search for information—it finds, reads, and synthesizes web content automatically, producing comprehensive reports on complex topics complete with citation links.
What makes this feature revolutionary is that it:
Automates the entire research workflow: Unlike traditional search engines that provide links for you to manually review, Deep Research reads and analyzes content for you.
Performs intelligent multi-step research: It doesn't just run one search—it identifies subtopics, follows logical threads, and explores connections between ideas.
Cross-references information: It compares sources, identifies conflicting data, and creates a more complete picture.
Synthesizes findings: Instead of copying information, it generates original insights and presents them in a structured format.
With Deep Research, what once took hours now takes minutes.
This doesn't just save time—it fundamentally changes what's possible in knowledge work:
Questions that were too time-consuming to research now get answered
Decision-making improves with more thorough information
Professionals stay current in rapidly changing fields
Knowledge gaps close faster, accelerating learning and innovation
Most importantly, Deep Research democratizes access to knowledge, breaking down barriers created by privilege, time constraints, or information overload.
Almost nobody’s using this enough—but it’s the unlock for staying current as AI evolves.
Use It to Learn It
Here’s the deal:
You don’t get good at AI by watching tutorials. You get good by using it every day for stuff that matters to you.
That’s it. One mindset shift. One habit to use AI daily. One prompt at a time using best practices.
And suddenly, you're fluent in a language most people haven’t even started learning.
This approach isn't just practical—it's transformative.
As you integrate AI into your daily life, you're not just becoming more efficient; you're evolving.
You're co-creating a future where human creativity and AI capabilities combine to generate possibilities neither could achieve alone.
AI is like a super genius child that could bring us into an age of abundance—if we raise it with care. This doesn't just affect how we work; it has the potential to transform how we think, create, and evolve as a species.
The story of AI is about human evolution. As we work towards a positive tipping point, each of us has the power to shape how this technology serves humanity's highest potential.
Will you use AI merely as a productivity tool, or will you embrace it as a mirror for self-discovery, a catalyst for doing your best work, and a partner in becoming your best self?
It’s up to you. And it begins not with learning, but with using—one prompt, one habit, one day at a time.
Coaching Accelerates Your AI Mastery
Like I said, you don’t need anyone to teach you AI. But there is huge value in getting AI coaching.
Think about high-performance athletes. While anyone can learn tennis by playing regularly, those who reach excellence do so through deliberate practice guided by expert coaches who:
See their blind spots and correct subtle errors they'd never notice
Customize training to their specific strengths and weaknesses
Accelerate their progress by focusing on high-leverage improvements
Provide accountability and structured feedback that self-learning can't offer
Help them break through plateaus when progress stalls
The same principles apply to mastering AI.
AI coaching provides structured guidance that turns occasional wins into consistent excellence. You’ll see the difference.

I love this. I created a custom gpt called CouncilWork for emotional release and integration and it's been LIFE-CHANGING as a doorway into deeper work. It doesn't take away from the deep work, it helps open up new things. I'm glad you wrote this! ♥️🔥
