Using AI for Life Admin: Week 1 of My Personal Assistant Experiment
A Week 1 field note on testing ChatGPT Pro and Codex as a personal life admin layer, focused on carrying less mental load rather than doing more work.
I help service-led businesses turn messy admin processes into clearer workflows, then automate the repeatable parts where it makes sense.
AI can be useful, but only when the workflow is ready for it. Otherwise, it just makes the mess move faster.
