Quick Overview
Today, we'll cover five specific ways you can quickly start using AI to:
Automate meeting scheduling
Effortlessly manage emails
Eliminate repetitive data entry
Get tasks planned out clearly

Let's dig into the practical details.
5 Simple Step to Get Back Some Time
1. Automate Your Scheduling
Tools to try: Calendly or Motion
How it helps:
Instead of emailing back-and-forth to find the perfect meeting time, these tools let people book directly based on your calendar availability.
Set-up Steps:
Create a free account at Calendly or Motion.
Connect your Google or Outlook calendar.
Set your preferred working hours and add buffer time between meetings.
Share your custom scheduling link on your website, email signature, or directly with clients.
Why this saves you hours:
You remove all manual scheduling and calendar conflicts vanish. Meetings become effortless.
2. Master Email Overload
Tools to try: Superhuman or SaneBox
How it helps:
AI sorts your emails instantly, prioritizing critical messages and filtering out noise automatically.
Set-up Steps:
Sign up at Superhuman or SaneBox.
Connect your inbox (it securely analyzes your email behaviors).
Label important contacts or use AI to detect them automatically.
Enable AI-driven follow-up reminders to ensure timely responses.
Why this saves you hours:
You no longer waste time sorting through clutter, ensuring you focus only on high-impact emails.
3. Say Goodbye to Manual Data Entry
Tools to try: Zapier or Make
How it helps:
These tools automate routine tasks by connecting your favorite apps. When someone fills a form, the data auto-populates your CRM or spreadsheets without lifting a finger.
Set-up Steps:
Register for a Zapier or Make account.
Choose a trigger event (e.g., "New website form submission").
Select the resulting action (e.g., "Add contact details to your CRM").
Run a quick test to confirm the automation is set correctly.
Why this saves you hours:
Automating data entry eliminates human error and frees your time for strategic, high-value work.
4. Plan Your Day with ChatGPT
Tool to try: OpenAI's ChatGPT
How it helps:
ChatGPT acts as your personal assistant for drafting emails, summarizing lengthy notes, and organizing your tasks in clear, actionable lists.
Set-up Steps:
Open ChatGPT.
Enter a basic prompt to start, such as:
"Summarize this long email chain into key points."
"Create a prioritized list for these tasks: [enter tasks here]."
"Draft a concise email to follow-up on [specific scenario]."
Refine responses by asking follow-up prompts like, "Make this email shorter," or "Organize tasks by priority."
Why this saves you hours:
You instantly clarify your day, enabling quick decision-making and increased productivity.
5. Enhance Team Communication
Tools to try: Slack AI integrations or Microsoft Teams AI
How it helps:
AI helps by summarizing conversations, sending automatic reminders, and keeping everyone updated without manual follow-ups.
Set-up Steps:
In Slack, integrate apps like Standuply for daily automated check-ins.
In Microsoft Teams, activate meeting summaries through built-in AI tools.
Schedule automatic daily or weekly prompts reminding team members of critical deadlines and tasks.
Regularly use automated polls or feedback requests to streamline team updates.
Why this saves you hours:
You minimize unnecessary meetings, reduce confusion, and maintain a clear communication flow effortlessly.
