As AI gets more and more capable and I use it for more and more things in my daily workflow, it creates a new problem: waiting for AI. Most tasks now take 1-3 minutes for which you have to wait for the result. Most takes would have taken you much much more than that if you were to do them yourself, so a big productivity gain, but, 1-3 minutes is too short to go and do something else, so you wait, get distracted, break your flow, and find yourself getting back to what you were working on 30 minutes later. “Ah small mistake, let’s do fix that. Click. 1-3 minutes wait.
I have not found a solution yet, and am experimenting:
- Running lots of agents in parallel, so it is like a plate-on-stick catching game
- Running the tasks in parallel of an activity that is easy to interrupt (watching a tutorial video)
- Writing a quick blog post…
- Etc.
