I started calling it AI-enhanced learning

Hey everyone, this is Allan. In today’s video I want to share my view on AI and how I’m using it right now.

AI as a Tool

I hear a lot of talk about AI replacing humans or people trying to let AI do their work for them. I see it differently. To me AI is a tool that enhances what I already do well. It makes my strengths stronger and helps fill the gaps in the areas where I’m weaker.

Task Management

In the past I used to procrastinate a lot. I learned that breaking a project into smaller tasks makes it easier to get started. The first task should be the easiest possible, like opening a browser when I need to fix a broken WordPress site. That simple step gets the momentum going. Right now I’m using AI to divide tasks for me and to organize my day because my memory isn’t great. I’m a creative person, good at ideas and solutions, but I often forget the details I need to act on. AI serves as an augmented brain, a “second brain,” helping me keep track of everything.

Augmented Memory

I call this use of AI a second brain. It’s not just a to‑do list; it’s a way to extend my memory and keep the information I need at my fingertips.

AI‑Enhanced Learning

Learning has always been a strength of mine. As a teenager I taught myself video editing, created intros in Blender for my Minecraft channel, learned Photoshop, worked as a freelance social‑media designer, and taught myself front‑end web development, all before AI existed. Now I’m using AI to accelerate that learning process. I call it AI‑enhanced learning: a method of studying that leverages AI to deepen my skills.

I’m currently studying how to become a better entrepreneur with AI, learning framework skills, and preparing for case interviews used by firms like McKinsey. I’m also applying AI to my software‑engineering degree. Because my time is limited, AI helps me focus on the minimal amount of work needed each day to improve by at least 1 %. That small, consistent gain is better than doing nothing.

Practical Application

Today I spent the whole morning and afternoon on client projects, using AI to keep my workflow efficient. I asked my AI assistant to tell me the minimal tasks I could complete while still making progress. That approach keeps my consistency and ensures I’m always moving forward.

AI isn’t a substitute for my effort; it’s a lever, a source of leverage that amplifies what I can achieve. That’s all for today.
