Your to-do list… but make it motivational.

Ever look at your to-do list and feel like it’s judging you?
Here’s a way to change that so that your to-do list doesn't scare you.

Prompt:
“Turn my to-do list into a motivational pep talk in the style of a life coach. Keep it short, energetic and encouraging, like I’m about to run onto the field.”

Suddenly:
- “Send invoices” becomes “Show up like the pro you are.”
- “Prep for meeting” turns into “Step into the room with clarity and confidence.”
- “Tidy desk” is now “Clear the clutter, clear the mind.”

It’s a small trick, but it transforms a list of chores into a mini hype session.
Because sometimes, the difference between stuck and energised is just how you frame it.

Happy Spring!

Spring isn’t just for nature, it’s for us too.

The first day of Spring is the perfect excuse to pause and reset.

Here’s a fun way to let AI join the moment:
“Based on what I’ve been telling you about my goals, routines and challenges lately, suggest (1) 3 habits I should release this Spring, (2) 3 small rituals I could start that align with my values, and (3) 3 ways to add more daily joy and energy. Keep the tone warm and encouraging, like advice from a close friend.”

Why this works:
• It pulls from what the AI already ‘knows’ about you
• It blends practical with uplifting
• The output feels more like a nudge from someone who gets you

Because sometimes the best growth comes from shedding, not adding.

What’s one habit you’d happily leave behind this Spring?

AI as your “X-Ray Glasses” for blind spots

The hardest thing in business? Seeing what you can’t see.

That’s where AI becomes more than a tool, it’s your set of X-Ray Glasses.

Prompt to try:
“Analyse this plan for blind spots, risks, or overlooked opportunities. Give me feedback in 3 parts: (1) What I missed, (2) What could go wrong, (3) What hidden strengths I can double down on.”

Instead of just confirming what you already think, AI challenges you.

It shines light on the cracks and the gold you might have ignored.

The result? Faster decisions, fewer mistakes, sharper strategy.

AI as your Brainstorm Buddy, zero bad ideas, only better ones.

Ever been in a brainstorm where the room goes quiet… and someone says, “I’ve got nothing”?

AI never has that problem.

Here’s a playful but powerful prompt to spark creativity:
“Give me 10 wild, out-of-the-box ideas for [insert project]. Then refine the top 3 into practical strategies I can implement tomorrow.”

It’s like having the world’s most fearless intern who throws everything on the table and then instantly shape-shifts into a strategist who filters the gems.

The result? You leave with ideas that are both bold and doable.

Would you bring an AI buddy into your next brainstorm?

Your smartest team member doesn’t talk back… until you ask it to.

AI is not just a tool for quick answers. Used well, it becomes your thinking partner.

→ Here’s a prompt that will change the way you brainstorm:
“Act as my Thought Partner. Challenge my assumptions on [topic] and suggest 3 alternative perspectives I may be overlooking. Format as: (1) Counter-argument (2) Fresh perspective (3) Real-world example.”

Instead of echoing your ideas, AI now stress-tests them. It helps you see what you’re missing, spot risks and uncover opportunities you hadn’t thought of.

The real magic? It’s like having a seasoned advisor on call 24/7, without the consulting fee.

Will you try this with your next big idea?

Turns out, almost half of us are quietly using AI at work and it’s not just for hiding busy days.

- Nearly 50% of U.S. workers admit to using AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini without telling their bosses. It’s what insiders are calling a “shadow economy of productivity.” 

But here’s the kicker: employees are using AI in more than 30% of their daily tasks, at three times the rate that their leaders expect. 

This isn’t sneaky, it’s initiative. People are finding creative solutions before formal training even catches up.

Your colleagues (and maybe you?) are already using AI. The mission isn’t just to adopt, it’s to own it, strategically and ethically.

Tell us in the comments, have you ever snuck in an AI trick at work?

I told ChatGPT-5 my day was scattered. No long prompt. No instructions.

It came back with a clear plan and actually made sense of my chaos.

That’s the difference with GPT-5, it doesn’t just answer, it understands.

Fun fact: In a USC study, people reported feeling more understood by AI responses than by humans 72% of the time.

Pretty wild.

Have you tried just telling AI how you feel? You’d be surprised what it does with that.

Been playing with ChatGPT‑5 for a minute and wow, it actually did something I didn’t expect.

1. Model switcher that actually works. It literally decides when to think hard vs. slam out an answer, without you fussing around.

2. Personality presets. Choose your vibe: Cynic, Listener, Nerd and suddenly talking to AI doesn’t feel like the same old corporate elevator pitch.

3. Next‑level empathy & creativity. GPT‑5 beat Gemini 2.5 Pro in chores like “explain like I’m 5, 15, 50” and even nailed emotional check‑ins like when I said “I failed or lost something important.”

Which one are you trying first?

This AI just earned GOLD at the international math olympiad, against humans.

Believe it or not, both OpenAI and Google had their AI models solve five out of six IMO problems, using natural language, within time limits. They even scored gold medals. This isn’t a quiz, this is next‑level reasoning power that genuinely disrupted a competition filled with teen prodigies. 

Imagine what that kind of intelligence could unlock for strategic decision‑making, research or automated problem‑solving in your business.

Curious about how this could reshape leadership in fast‑growing organisations?

Use it with a photo of your favourite racer and see how the car, track and atmosphere come together in a dramatic, futuristic style.

Prompt

Double Exposure, Midjourney Style, Compositing, Blending, Superimposing
A breathtaking, futuristic double exposure artwork featuring the silhouette of a legendary Formula 1 driver, intertwined with the adrenaline-fueled world of Formula 1 racing. Inside the silhouette: a classic Ferrari F1 car racing full-speed on a slightly wet twilight track, glowing under warm stadium lights and iconic red-yellow reflections. The car’s deep Rosso Corsa red, paired with warm amber highlights and jet black carbon textures, creates a powerful visual identity that pays tribute to Ferrari’s racing legacy. The background remains softly gradient with warm greys and golden mist, avoiding cold tones to bring vibrancy and depth while ensuring the silhouette remains the focal point.

Cinematic lighting and photorealistic textures highlight wet asphalt reflections, glowing light trails, and motion blur, adding depth and realism. Futuristic elements like telemetry HUD overlays, kinetic energy lines, and subtle digital flare effects create a sense of modern speed and innovation, without compromising the classic Ferrari feel.

(Detailed: 1.45), (Detailed background: 1.4)
Warm cinematic tones, glowing Ferrari reds and yellows, vibrant track lights, glossy reflections, hyper-detailed surfaces, energetic mood, legendary speed. Added reference visuals.

Reference Visuals
