Sick, Tired, and Still Building—Thanks to a Robot
Hey Bestie!
Im no tech-bro, but AI has really changed how I live my life. I didn’t start using AI because I thought it was cool. I started because my brain stopped working the way I wanted it to.
I had deadlines. Client messages piling up. Projects halfway finished.
But I’d sit there with my hands in my lap, my chest tight, my jaw locked.
The ideas were in my head—but I couldn’t get them out fast enough.
So I gave in. I opened ChatGPT. I started typing like I was talking to a friend.
And it helped. Not perfectly, not poetically. But it got the mess moving.
And that was enough.
AI isn’t magic. It’s a blunt tool. But it’s a tool.
According to TechRadar, AI tools like ChatGPT can actually help you break through analysis paralysis, automate repetitive thinking, and get out of your own way when decision fatigue kicks in. And that checks out—for me, it’s the reason I’ve been able to stay afloat on days when I can’t focus or even start.
Here’s how I actually use it—when I’m not pretending to have it all together:
I dump my thoughts in one long, messy rant. It turns them into chunks I can manage.
I feed it tasks, timelines, ideas—and it gives me something to push against when my brain is underwater.
I use it like I’d use a mirror. It reflects what I’m already carrying so I can finally see it.
This isn’t about replacing your creativity.
This is about getting unstuck.
If you’re neurodivergent, exhausted, or both—this is for you.
I’ve had entire weeks disappear because of flare-ups.
Or mood dips. Or hormone spirals.
I used to feel guilty. Like if I couldn’t “show up” every day, I didn’t deserve to be building anything.
But now?
I use every tool that lets me keep going my way.
Even if it’s clunky. Even if it’s not “pure.”
AI gives me scaffolding on the days I’m empty.
And when I’m full again—I take the wheel back.
You’re not broken because you need help.
You’re not cheating because you use support.
And no one gets a prize for doing it all alone.
At Luna Young Assist, I don’t use AI because it’s trendy.
I use it because real people with real limitations still deserve to run shit.
Still deserve to make art. Launch things. Lead. Create. Rest.
If you’re tired of pretending productivity is a personality trait—
and you just want to build something that works with your body and brain—
You’re not alone. I’m building that too.
Let’s do it together.
What are some creative ways you can use AI to be your best self?
Stay Focused,
