This week's cheat sheet: AI is a dial, not a switch
|
Howdy Reader! This week on Creator News Live, I sat down with Mike Schmitz, the founder of Practical PKM and the creator of Life HQ, and honestly, I could have talked to him for hours. The big idea stuck with me: AI is not an on-off switch; it is a dial. You do not have to be an AI bro or a proud holdout. There is a middle setting where the machine does the busywork and your taste stays in charge. Your cheat sheet breaks the whole thing down, including his Creativity Flywheel: Capture, Curate, Connect, Cultivate, Create. It is the system for steering the dial instead of just flipping it. Here is what is inside:

This Friday, we're sitting down with Mike Schmitz, the founder of Practical PKM, co-host of the Focused and Bookworm podcasts, and the creator of LifeHQ, a done-for-you Obsidian vault. Mike is writing some of the sharpest essays anywhere on...
Howdy Reader! I sat down last week and added up how much of my time goes to work I never wanted to be doing, the inbox, the scheduling, the follow-up, the repurposing. It was a lot. Our guest this week has spent her whole career making that stack disappear. This Friday, we're sitting down with Jennifer Bennett, the founder of Get Desky and a Fractional Chief AI Officer who has run the systems behind 1.2 million leads a month. Now she helps founders hand the backend busywork to AI and AI...
Howdy Reader! There's a long weekend coming up, and if you're anything like me, there's already a little voice in the back of your head making a list. Clean the garage. Catch up on email. Finally deal with that closet. Be productive. Here's a confession... I'm weirdly bad at days off. Give me a free Saturday, and I'll quietly turn it into a to-do list, then feel guilty when I don't finish it. (Nothing says “relaxing holiday” like disappointing yourself by 10 am.) So this week on The Maker's...
