I spent the last two years deconstructing AI tools to see what actually works for real jobs—not for tech demos. I used these exact methods to land raises, promotions, and a new role, all while reclaiming my weekends. Now, I’m sharing the playbook. Practical, weekly breakdowns of how to use AI to accelerate your career and get your time back.
🚨 Stop reading career advice
I'm going to explain how to filter the noise from the signal in your career.Why should you care? Because your attention is your most expensive asset. If you protect it you move faster. If you waste it you stay stuck. Unfortunately, most people treat every piece of information as equal. They read every "100 AI Tools" list. They panic over every "AI is taking your job" headline. They try to follow 50 different career gurus at once. This is overwhelming. But it's also the reality of the market. Look at the smartest people in business. They aren't ignoring AI. They are obsessing over it. Naval Ravikant puts it bluntly: The Primary Reason: FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out).We are terrified that if we look away for one second we will become obsolete.

You need to define what you are looking for before you open your laptop. Most people scroll to find out what to care about, which is completely backward.
If a post doesn't help bring clarity to one of those 3 questions, then ignore it.
You are what you consume. Most people follow "Influencers" who post platitudes. You need to follow "Practitioners" who post evidence. As Dan Koe mentions, the market rewards depth, not noise:
You do not need to read every article to know if it is useful. Use AI to read the internet for you.
The Result: You stop drowning in content. You start swimming in insight. Which will lead to you:
