From Ideas to Action: How ChatGPT and Insights from Atomic Habits Sparked My Strategic Breakthrough

I looked to ChatGPT to get me over a hump a few weeks ago, and out of my productivity lull. The results were pretty awesome. Before I dive into the results and step-by-step plan it created and how it got me untuck, here is the crux of my “situation”. I am a perfectionist, occasional procrastinator when fear of failure creeps in, have ADHD and trouble staying focused when there are prolonged eb and flows in my normal work routine. When this occurs, I tend to get overloaded by all the ideas and possibilities flowing in, on want I want to do. If left unharnessed, I can struggle to get started and moving in a optimally productive and consistent way.

A few weeks back I found myself with more spare time than usual and what started as a good exploratory phase morphed into an information gathering overload. Which on occasion can morph into the even more dreaded, over analysis paralysis. I was swimming in great Youtube videos from some of my favorite thought leaders, top resources and articles I’d gathered on the topic of the things I wanted to do REALLY well.

But I needed to get a tactical plan in place first to start creating outputs and results. Rather than getting started on what I was seeing as the best first steps, I found myself just wanting to go to one more coaching call, and review a few more notes. During this “stuck period”, likely brought on by perfectionism and a fear of failure and not getting something as perfect as I felt it could be- I found myself rereading the book “Atomic Habits”. With the hope that some sage wisdom would jump off the pages and give me a eureka moment and a crystal clear path forward. Or at the very least I was looking for a few lines in the book that would help me get real honest with myself and light a fire under me to get started and doing ALREADY!! And out of research mode.

So I did what any tech innovation loving, creative problem solver and procrastinator would do in 2024. I asked ChatGPT4 to write a summary and key takeaways of the book "Atomic habit" and include examples of how I can apply this insight in step-by-step process to aid in my personal and professional development journey.
