Two caveats of AI productivity

A TODO list that grows instead of shrinking, and a lot of context switching.

Sheesh, I feel so productive with all these AI tools and agents, but there are two caveats (at least):

  1. I was thinking my TODO list would get cleared at the speed of light thanks to AI. Instead, it’s growing every day - I just keep adding more things because I know that with my little helpers I can actually tackle stuff I wouldn’t have even thought of before.

  2. The amount of context switching is insane - I’m juggling 2–3 projects at once. I’m a hustle person - I love crushing work and I think I kinda enjoy this stream of multifunctionality… but on the other hand, it drains a ton of energy. I even added a remind-me skill to my agentic kit so the agents can update me about the last thing we worked on.

Anyway, it’s definitely a fascinating time for curious minds.
