Everyone is looking for the perfect system. The perfect morning routine. The perfect planner. The perfect business strategy. The perfect meal plan. The perfect workout. The perfect AI prompt. I don't think it exists. And honestly? I think chasing it is exhausting. For years I thought I just hadn't found the "right" way to do things. I'd buy the planner. Follow the productivity expert. Watch the YouTube video. Organize my apartment exactly the way someone else did. Meal prep like the women on Instagram. Download the checklist. Buy the containers. Start over every Monday. Then I'd inevitably stop. Not because I was lazy. Not because I lacked discipline. Because I was trying to force myself into someone else's system. Eventually I noticed something. The systems that actually lasted weren't the ones I copied. They were the ones I accidentally built. That's where my favorite phrase came from. Frankenstein the shit out of it. Take the parts that work. Throw out the parts that don't. Steal an idea from one person. Borrow another from someone else. Add something your grandma used to do. Mix in something you figured out by accident. Keep tweaking until it actually fits your life. That's how I build almost everything now. My business. My apartment. My kitchen. My routines. Even the way I use AI. Because I don't care if my system looks weird. I care whether it supports me. People spend so much energy trying to become the kind of person who can finally make someone else's system work. What if that's backwards? What if the goal isn't becoming different... What if it's building systems around the person you already are? Because maybe you aren't inconsistent. Maybe you hate mornings. Maybe you'll never fold laundry immediately. Maybe you need your fruit washed and cut the day you bring it home. Maybe you'll never remember where something is if it's hidden in a beautiful matching basket. None of those things are character flaws. They're information. And information is useful. This is exactly how I use AI now. I don't ask it for "the best" system. I ask it to help me build the best system for me. Then I argue with it. I tell it when something won't work. I ask for weirder ideas. I make it interview me before it gives advice. And little by little... The systems start fitting my actual life instead of the imaginary one I thought I was supposed to have. That's the shift I wish more people would make. Stop trying to become someone who fits the system. Start building systems that fit you. Because the life you're trying to create doesn't need to look impressive. It needs to feel supportive. And those are two very different things. Ready to start building systems around the way you actually work instead of the way you think you should? Teach AI How You Work (So Life Gets Easier)
Inside I'll show you exactly how I use the free version of ChatGPT to build systems for laundry, meal planning, decluttering, content creation, decision making, overwhelm, and more.
