My AI To-Do List Told Me to Nap. I Listened.

Productivity advice is everywhere:
Wake up at 5 AM.
Drink a kale smoothie.
Journal your intentions.
Become a superhuman.

Meanwhile, I’m just trying to not cry into a half-eaten granola bar while my to-do list silently mocks me.

So this week, I outsourced my motivation to AI.

The Prompt:

“Act as a productivity coach who’s given up. Create a to-do list for someone with zero motivation, low battery, and a slight caffeine dependency.”

The Results (aka: My New Life Plan)

1. Wake up slowly. Or don’t. No pressure.
   (I appreciated the flexibility.)

2. Drink coffee. Stare out window. Exist.
   (This step took 40 minutes and felt important.)

3. Move one object from one side of the room to the other. Feel productive.
   (I relocated a pen. It changed my aura.)

4. Think about replying to an email. Don’t.
   (Inbox: 187. Replies: spiritually unavailable.)

5. Watch a productivity video. Feel judged.
   (“If you don’t wake up at 4AM, do you even hustle?”)

6. Nap. Call it a ‘mind reset.’
   (Honestly? Revolutionary.)

7. If guilt kicks in, reorganize your desktop folders. That counts.
   (I renamed 3 files. One is still called “final_final_REAL_final_THISONE.”)

8. Celebrate surviving.
   (Put this step first next time, AI.)

Final Thoughts:

Turns out, AI can be weirdly good at giving you permission to slow down.
Especially when your brain is buffering and your soul is stuck in airplane mode.

And hey — if a robot tells you to nap, who are you to argue?
