Laziness is not the reason why you're not AI-native yet
But here's the real reason why
If AI were so easy to learn, then why are you struggling?
Everyone’s telling you that you’re going to get left behind. Your job, your livelihood, they’ll all be gone if employers don’t see you using AI effectively.
But no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to work.
And the frustration gets worse when you see others making millions with AI, while you have nothing to show for it. The gap continues to widen each day, and it becomes an additional stressor in your life.
The online posts you consume make you feel that the only reason that you’re failing is because you are lazy.
“You’re not putting in the work, you don’t want this enough to make a change”.
But if you’re already hard-pressed for time both in your work and personal life, how else can you become AI-native?
Laziness has nothing to do with it
Everyone knows that becoming AI-native is so important to stay valuable to your employer.
Without it, you could be the next person they decide to replace in the ever-growing list of layoffs.
So it’s not that you’re lazy, but you’re completely overwhelmed with what to do to get started.
Should I buy a completely new Mac Mini, or can I just use my own computer with AI?
Should I be using Discord or Telegram for my Hemes agent?
What tools should I be using to achieve this task?
But these are the wrong questions to be asking when learning how to become AI-native.
Because it was never about the tools, models, or agents.
Instead, becoming AI-native is more about these questions:
How can I describe a problem clearly enough to AI so it understands fully, with all the required context?
How can I build a repeatable workflow with clear instructions so AI can execute it on my behalf?
How can I break down one task into its simplest units so I know what to delegate to AI, and what I should be doing myself?
AI-native is not about the number of tools you use, but how deeply you understand the task.
If you have a workflow that you do every single day, there are steps that can be automated and ones that you should still be doing manually (or with minor assistance from the AI).
So stop listening to the ‘advice’ you see online. It makes you feel inadequate about yourself, and you’ll lose all motivation to continue learning AI.
And they just want your eyeballs to continue monetising the attention they got through fear-mongering.
You’d want to:
List out every single task you do in your work or daily life
Decide which are the ones you want to continue doing, and ones you wished someone could do for you
Define the clear objective you want to achieve with that task you hate doing (Outcome)
Break it down into atomic steps (Workflow)
Identify blockers that prevent you from doing this task faster (Bottleneck)
Work together with AI (preferably with voice) to turn this workflow into a repeatable Skill
It’s not the flashiest or something that you can brag about on Twitter.
But by looking at AI with a first-principles thinking, you can achieve so much more with it.
And this is what I’ll be sharing more in The AI-Native Sprint, a 90-minute live workshop for busy 9-to-5 workers who want a clear path to become AI-native.
We’ll work together to turn one soul-sucking task you hate in your job and build a repeatable system that completes these tasks for you.
While having proof that you’re AI-native so you stay valuable to your employer.
