Wearables 🗞️ 🔌
Health evolution: Soon you'll control your DNA with a wearable
Hold onto your neurons!
A brain-tingling question from Vice magazine is surfing the synaptic waves of the internet: Can you play puppet master with human genes using simple electrical currents?
In a science fiction-meets-reality twist, researchers have jolted insulin production in human cells, thanks to an 'electrogenetic' interface that flicks the switch on targeted genes.
Imagine this: a future where wearables don’t just track your steps, but program your genes... Say hello to direct current (DC)-actuated regulation technology (DART)—the possible secret sauce to gene-juggling wearables.
Would you fuse your DNA into a wearable device?
You’d effectively be a cyborg… 🤖 🧬
Quick Recap
The DART doodad can prod specific genes with an electric poke, potentially crafting medical miracles straight from your DNA.
This tech could serve as an on-demand pharmacist, doling out therapeutic doses to tackle conditions from diabetes to, who knows, maybe a bad hair day!
You might soon strap on a wearable that won’t just whisper to your genes but will also plug into your bodies internet or the IoT.
You’re officially living in the future my friend! So, plug yourself in and let's ride the current to tomorrow!

AI MASTERCLASS (Prompt) 🦾
Let Eisenhower craft your daily schedule in 5-seconds!
Wave a cheerio to juggling too many tasks, and say hello to conquering your to-do list! The Eisenhower Matrix is the key, and guess what? It's landed straight into your Well Wired lap. This is awesome gang!
Eisenhower Matrix, eh? This productivity piece was created by Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th president of the U.S of A.
Stephen Covey then plugged it into a grid to prioritise tasks like a boss.
Now you can go from overwhelmed to unfazed, pronto!
Here's the roadmap...
Here’s a sample of a day in the life of a newsletter founder - yours truly!
I gave ChatGPT a list of all the things I had to do today so that it can analyse my to-do using the Eisenhower matrix:
OMG! Shut the door... within 5 seconds this is what ChatGPT wrote:
ChatGPT’s response
I almost peed my pants with excitement! I’ve tried this in the past, without AI, and it was a slow and painful process. I have never finished a single matrix 😆
I love how ChatGPT listed tasks between urgent and not so urgent. This saved me my sanity and showed me, visually, that what I thought was important, really wasn’t. Talk about tech-tacular!
Plug it in and take this baby for a spin!
I’ve included the prompt below. Just change the wording to match your situation and needs.
ChatGPT prompt
As a newsletter writer seeking assistance in creating tomorrow's schedule, I have 22 emails to respond to, with 11 that are urgent. I also have 3 meetings, one with a major sponsor, the other with my editor and one with my sister to buy my mum a birthday present. I also need to write, proofread, and submit 3 articles by 7 p.m. Tomorrow at 12 p.m., I have a one-hour call with my videographer. I then have 2.5-hours to use what I learn from my call with my videographer to create a 'how to' video using AI tools. I'd appreciate a 45-minute lunch break, a 15-minute morning coffee break and time for meditation. Using the Eisenhower Method, please create a schedule for me.Key Takeaways
Remember to replace your title and the tasks in the prompt with your own silly billy 😉
You can simply dump all your ideas into ChatGPT or you can use the Rock, Pebble, Sand technique to prioritise your goals and then see how the Eisenhower matrix compares to what you think is important. Like a grumpy granny, what we think is vital often isn’t!
Once you get a response, you can adjust it by adding or subtracting tasks and then repeating the process. I also tried a weekly version and it worked like a charm. I’ll use this for my scheduling FOREVER!
