Morissa Schwartz offers a judgment: AI assistants generate work faster than they complete it. She found that her daily to-do list had been inflated by her AI assistant to 156 items, many of which were overlapping, reminders about reminders, and tasks that were checked off after only a completion note was written. So she adjusted her system: on workdays she keeps only about 25 meaningful execution items, groups related work into a single execution item, and requires verifiable evidence upon completion, specific explanations of blocking reasons, and tracking of actual output results. There is currently no further development with supporting evidence.

I believe in AI, but my AI assistant gave me more work than it could complete
AI strategist Morissa Schwartz found that her daily to-do list had been inflated by her AI assistant to 156 items, many of them overlapping, reminders of reminders, and tasks that were checked off after only a completion note was written. She therefore restructured her system: on workdays she keeps only about 25 meaningful execution items, groups related work into a single execution item, and requires verifiable evidence upon completion, specific explanations of blockers, and tracking of actual output results.
