Those who stay straight, look strange when everyone else is wobbling

With such rapid technological changes, it is very easy to feel overwhelmed and feeling an urge to learn every new AI tool being released. What helps to set a focus?

Finding an intrinsic motivation to learn new things

Find your inner motivation to learn new tools, not just because everybody is screaming “AI”.

Define which problems should a tools solve before starting using it.

Set a focus for each tool

The more specific the task you want to accomplish, the better the result.

Set a timeframe to regularly experiment with new tools (one tool at a time).

I also filter whom I follow and choose 2-3 content creators with AI expertise instead of consuming all the existing content.

Measure

After experimenting, measure the output according to your goal (e.g. efficiency, quality of the output).

Reflect and try new workflows and approaches to reach your goals.

Also looking for a way to catch up with all the changes happening? You are not alone. Connecting and exchanging to fellow designers also means a lot. It make much more fun to explore things together.
