6 months ago: Everyone shrugged off AI. 2 months ago: Some people began to accept AI. In 12 months time: AI will be a non-negotiable in every industry. I’ll be honest, until a few months ago, I completely downplayed AI in my head. But that was until I changed roles & became a Content Engineer. And my mindset instantly shifted: I saw what AI was capable of. I saw the rapid progression it was making. And I saw how every update was getting bigger & better. In a matter of weeks, I went from disregarding it… to putting 100% of my focus into it. Because AI isn’t just going to affect some people. It will affect every business. In every industry. In every corner of the world. And even though we may not be at that point just yet… ↳ That doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen. And the people who embrace it now will be the people who come out on top in a few years' time. So if understanding & utilising AI isn't one of your top priorities this year, maybe it's time to reconsider 🤷🏻‍♂️

No service. No notifications. No staying up to date with social media. This was what my holiday last week in the Lake District looked like. I knew that camping in the mountains would mean I had no service. But if I’m being honest, I didn’t think it would be an issue. I was excited to be disconnected. I thought I had control over my phone. I genuinely thought it would be a walk in the park. But when I got there, it was a whole different story. Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed being disconnected… ↳ But I was shocked at the number of times I instinctively reached for my phone. Sitting in silence? I’d open my phone. Lying in my bed, ready to sleep? I’d reach for my phone. If I felt the slightest amount of boredom? Out came the phone. It became clear that my phone had much more control over me than I ever thought. But… by the end of the holiday, those habits had begun to fade. And I returned from the trip feeling more refreshed & full of life than ever before. The truth is, we use our phones to escape from the reality we’re in. Stopping us from living & enjoying the present moment: Enjoying the silence. Overcoming the boredom (naturally). Appreciating that moment before you go to sleep. It’s completely changed the way I look at my phone & life in general. The truth is, you’ll never know how much your phone is controlling your life, until you fully disconnect. And it’s a reality check that I’d recommend to anyone & everyone!
