417: Is Ai Killing Our Ability To Protect Time?

Is AI actually giving us more freedom… or just more to do?In this episode, I reflect on something I’ve been noticing lately, both in my own life and in conversations with other business owners:Even though AI makes it easier to write, create, and move faster… many of us aren’t using that time to slow down.In this episode, we explore:Why AI doesn’t actually create freedom (and what it creates instead)The subtle trap of turning efficiency into more workHow “doing more” quietly pulls us away from the life we wanted to buildThe difference between efficiency vs. alignmentWhy protecting empty space is more important than everHow to define “enough” in a world where there’s always more you could doGrounding reminders shared in this episode:Efficiency is not alignmentJust because you can do more doesn’t mean you should.Empty space is not a problemThat quiet time?
