MOMENTS OF ZEN
Generative AI is known for
productivity - now it's personal
ZenAI takes your survey answers and turns them into a calm-inducing personal productivity mantra.
Picture two people: One is frantically hopping from task to task, bouncing between incoming emails, the project they're working on and a few dozen open browser tabs; the other is the embodiment of Zen, getting no less accomplished but somehow making it look easy. Which one would you rather be?
Why ZenAI
Increasing your personal productivity not only reduces stress and anxiety, it also lets you make real progress in ways that align to your values. It's pretty simple: with fewer distractions, you can allocate your attention to what truly matters. And that means better mental health.
But doing so looks different for everyone, so the first step is figuring out where you can (or need to!) make room for personal productivity. Then you need something to spur you to take actions that ensure your success.
Enter ZenAI, which takes your answers to a short quiz and generates a unique personal productivity mantra you can use to feel free in the face of all the digital noise around you.
How it works
Wondering how it works? The short version is this: Your survey answers are analyzed for things like sentiment analysis and topic extraction, then SAS Text Analytics uses natural language processing to create a prompt that is fed into GPT-4, a large language model. That generative AI model then produces your custom mantra.
Productivity benefits
Hopefully, your personal mantra sets you on a path to more personal productivity and whatever the result of that makes space for in your life. Here are a few ways you might benefit:
- Getting the "right" things done instead of getting "all" the things done improves your life.
- Fewer distractions let you allocate your attention to tasks that truly matter.
- Simplifying your digital environment can increase efficiency and reduce cognitive load.
- The more personally productive you are, the less anxious or stressed you feel.
- When you're not forced to chase deadlines, you're actually ahead of the game.
Productivity tips
Regardless of which direction your mantra points you in, here are a number of tips you can use to make some more mental space for yourself every day by reducing digital noise:
Set up a regular digital declutter schedule (i.e. monthly, quarterly) so it's not overwhelming.
Having a naming convention and folder structure for documents so you know what to delete.
Implement a "one in, one out" rule, where for each new item you add, you remove something else.
Start a daily wind-down routine at the end of each day with tasks like: archive/move/delete emails; close unnecessary browser tabs; clear out your downloads folder.
And if all else fails, and you realize you'll never catch up with all those emails, you can declare "inbox bankruptcy." This means selecting all the messages in your inbox and clicking "Archive" to give yourself an empty inbox - and a clean slate.
