I am a lazy person, and I don’t want to do any work that I consider to be a toil. So, I look at all the things that I consider to be toil. They come in the way of me going for a hike, or going to bed, or watching TV. I have found that I probably save a couple of hours on a weekend by just letting AI do what I perceive to be grunt work. That’s one piece. The second part is information overload. I have lots of WhatsApp channels where I get spammed by all kinds of things. I get a lot of LinkedIn requests, usually 10-20 a day, and during conferences, a few hundreds. I want to accept them all and still want to know who they were. I use Claude Cowork to automatically accept LinkedIn requests. An agent does it for me, and it sends me a summary of all requests. When I do feel like I need to respond to them, agents handle it for me.
