Post #6 – AI Boosters for Busy Managers

by Tom McAtee | 4 Aug 2025 | AI in Practice

Quick wins for productivity without the burnout.

Time is tight. But with AI, you can reclaim headspace by handing off micro-tasks that clog your day.

Here are five fast ways to use ChatGPT or Claude as your productivity booster:

  1. Summarise meetings. Paste in notes or transcripts — get a clean summary fast.

  2. Draft emails. Write the first version in seconds, then make it your own.

  3. Brainstorm options. Get 10 ideas fast — then choose and refine.

  4. Clarify thinking. Use AI as a sounding board — write a messy draft and ask, “What’s unclear here?”

  5. Reword for audience. Take one version of a message and ask AI to rewrite it for different stakeholders.

You don’t need to be technical — just intentional.

These days, I’m diving deep into research, building tools for thinking, and sharing personal reflections along the way. I also happen to love golf, music, cycling, travel, food – and building elegant things with Divi.
