💡 AI Idea of The Day 💡

Overwhelmed by your daily to-do list?  🧠

• Use ChatGPT to prioritise your tasks by urgency and importance and then create an easy schedule to finish each task in 50-min chunks 🍅 
  

• Be sure to add your top focus for the day or week so that ChatGPT knows how to order your tasks based on that particular focus.

🛠 Ask your AI of choice:

My top focus for [today, this week or month] is [add focus here]. Rank these tasks [add number and type of tasks here e.g. 1. Feed my dog fluffy, 2. Invest in pumpkin farm, 3. Stop laughing at my partner today, 4. Write one article] using the Eisenhower Matrix for time management and apply the Pomodoro technique to chunk each task down so that they are achievable."

Now you’ve tackled the critical tasks for the day and freed up your afternoon!

How to dissolve bad memories with AI

You know that weird feeling at the back of your mind when a bad memory keeps popping up in your head? It seems to drill through your skull over and over again, like an annoying YouTube ad!

Maybe it's the time you had one too many coffees and peed a little during that quarterly office presentation! Or that crazy two month relationship you had with you Goth neighbour that ended up a train wreck...

Or that time you ordered a mushroom pizza 🍕 but got Hawaiian instead (still haunts me).

Well today, I'll show you how to take control of those dark memories and transform them into unicorns and rainbows 🌈 using a powerful NLP technique - supercharged with AI.

Let's d-d-d-d-dive in! 🤿

What you'll learn today:

• Why bad memories keep haunting us (and how to stop them)
  

• The "Memory Dissolver" prompt to help you process difficult experiences
  

• How to harness ChatGPT, or Claude, as your personal NLP coach

Why bad memories keep haunting you
(and how to stop them)

Here's the thing about our brains:

They're like overprotective parents who keep reminding you about that one time you fell off your bike twenty years ago. 🚲

Every time you try something new?

BAM! 💥

They remind you of past failures.

The good news?

Unlike old dogs, you can teach your brain new tricks.

Just like training a puppy to stop chewing your favourite shoes, you can train your brain to process bad memories differently.

In fact, the latest research in neuroplasticity shows that even "old brains" can learn and adapt through new experiences. This means the brain can still form new neural connections and adapt to new experiences as you get older.

And that's where NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) comes in handy!

Presenting: The Memory Dissolver prompt

Before we dive into the AI-powered version, let me break down how this works:

Your brain stores memories like a movie director: 📽️

• It captures visuals (what you see)

• Records audio (what you hear)

• Adds emotions (how you feel)

The Memory Dissolver technique lets you be the director of your own mental movie (think fusing The Sixth Sense with A Beautiful Mind!)

You can:

• Fade the colors

• Lower the volume

• Push scenes into the distance

Until eventually...

The bad memory loses its emotional charge, but you keep the valuable lessons stored in your noggin! 🧠

Pretty neat, right?

But doing this alone can be somewhat tricky...

That's where Claude, Gemini or Chatty, your trusty AI mates, come in to help.

PROMPT CORNER

Transform AI into your personal NLP coach with the memory dissolver technique!

I've created a prompt that turns ChatGPT, or your AI of choice, into a gentle NLP coach who can now gently guide you through the memory dissolution process like a boss!

It’s like having a skilled hypnotist by your side helping you untangle old mental knots with a soothing voice and a pocket watch: 👁️

[START OF PROMPT]

I want you to act as my NLP coach helping me process a difficult memory. Your role is to:

1. Guide me through the memory dissolution process step by step
2. Ask gentle questions to help me navigate each stage
3. Provide encouragement and support
4. Help me extract valuable lessons from the experience

Please acknowledge that you understand and begin by asking what kind of memory I'd like to work on (without needing specific details unless I choose to share them).
Remember to maintain a calm, supportive tone throughout the process.

[END OF PROMPT]

Here's an example of how ChatGPT guided me through processing a particularly painful business failure:

As you can see ChatGPT, with surprising empathy ❤️, helps me start the process of understanding the memory and moving thorough it like a master locksmith, gently turning the key to unlock the doors of my mind…

…helping me release what no longer serves me.

Now, all you (and I) need to do is keep asking follow-up questions, step through the process and extract valuable lessons along the way.

This is powerful stuff! 🔥

And what I love about this process is that you don’t have to do it alone. Your trusty coach, ChatGPT, will provide encouragement and support along the way.

🛟 Note: Remember that no technology will ever trump true human connection—we all need it! Nothing in this article should be viewed as a substitute for professional advice (including, without limitation, medical or mental health advice). If you are experiencing a mental health condition, please seek professional help.

Now that we have that legalisms (sic) out of the way…

PROMPT OVERVIEW: The Memory Dissolver prompt

• Get personalised guidance through the memory dissolution process

• Transform painful experiences into valuable lessons ⚡

• Have a supportive coach at your beck and call available 24/7

3 ways to maximise your results

1) Create a safe space: find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.

Maybe put on some German techno if that helps you focus (works for me).

2) Start small: Begin with mildly uncomfortable memories before tackling the heavy stuff.

Like that time you put too much Szechuan sauce on your noodles (rookie mistake). 🌶️

3) Practice regularly: Like going to the gym, mental techniques work better with consistent practice.

Set aside 5-10 minutes a day for memory work—consistency is key!

Pro Tips

• Multi-area mastery: Run this prompt for different problem areas—career, relationships, health—for a 360-degree glow-up. ✨
  

• Quarterly check-ins: Set reminders to revisit the chat every 3 months and dissolve any persistent memories even further.
  

• Buddy up: Share your results with a professional (like a therapist or life coach) if you still feel stuck! If you ask nicely, they may help you apply the results to your session to get even more benefits.
  
  I’m a firm believer that AI and humans are two sides of the same coin. We, mecha and orga, will always work best together 🩺 It’s the premise of this entire newsletter! 🤖🥸

Key AI Wellbeing, Productivity and Self Growth AI news, trends and ideas from around the world:

Wellness: AI to the rescue: Can bots save your Dr from burnout? 🤖🏥

62% of nurses and nearly half of doctors are running on fumes. 🚑💨 Now with AI—the tireless, caffeine-free assistant that never complains can handle all the admin chaos, automating tasks, and offering smart insights, AI could give burnt-out medics their sanity back. Less paperwork, better patient care. Who knew the cure for doctor burnout might just be... a robot? 🤖

Why this matters: Burnt-out doctors make mistakes. Mistakes aren’t great when you’re, y’know, holding a scalpel. AI lightens the load, keeps medics sharp and maybe—just maybe—might save lives.

Productivity: Robots with feelings? The AI sentience chat divides society!

Around the planet there’s a brewing debate over AI's potential sentience and the social rifts it could cause. As machines get smarter, arguments about their consciousness could become a hot topic at your local pub. 🍺

Why this matters: Differing beliefs about AI's consciousness could deepen societal divides, affecting collaboration and trust in technology. Addressing these disagreements is crucial for harmonious integration of AI into daily life.

Wellness: AI is watching over grandma—and not in a creepy way 🤖 👵

Telstra Health and RMIT University think they may have an AI-powered fortune teller for aged care. The new AI platform predicts health risks like falls and depression before they happen, giving nurses a heads-up and keeping your gran or pa safer. The future’s now and it's got compression socks.

Why this matters: The world’s getting older and our healthcare system is sweating. This AI tool could be the difference between a smooth recovery and a trip to the emergency department. 🚑 🤖 

Less stress for staff, better care for nan. Everyone wins!

Wellness: AI coaching: your new digital drill sergeant

AI coaching is transforming personal and business growth by offering advanced support like tailored guidance, mindset coaching, building consistency, real-time feedback and behaviour analysis. Harnessing AI for your self growth like having a GPS for your ambitions—no wrong turns, just gentle rerouting when you drift off course. 🧭

Why this matters: In a world where time is money, AI coaching accelerates personal development and strategic growth, making your success more accessible, and achievable, than ever.

Self Growth: Meet your new mentor: AI guides Gen Z to greatness

A recent study by Soul Machines reveals that Gen Z, dubbed the 'Transformer Generation', is turning to AI Assistants for personal growth. From learning new languages to exploring career opportunities, these digital companions are the go-to for self-improvement. 🌱

Why this matters: As digital natives, Gen Z's embrace of AI for personal development highlights a shift towards technology-driven self-help, potentially reshaping how future generations might approach growth and learning.

Productivity: Hackers get a productivity boost from Google's Gemini

Google’s Threat Intelligence Group just revealed a not-so-fun fact: hackers from China, Iran and North Korea are using Gemini AI to fine-tune their cyberattacks. They’re not asking it for dinner recipes—they’re using it to be more productive: generate code, research targets and speed up their shady operations. 🥷

The silver lining? So far, they haven’t found any superpowers hidden in Gemini’s code. But let’s be real—no one wants to see an AI-powered villain origin story.

Why this matters: AI is like fire—cook a feast or burn down the house, depends on who’s holding the matches. It’s brilliant when used for good, a nightmare when it lands in the wrong hands. Cybercriminals are getting more efficient, which means we need to beef up general security before AI becomes their favourite co-conspirator.
