What is the Last Thing I have Learnt
AI is shaping the future, but journaling keeps me grounded. Balancing innovation with reflection helps me stay focused and keep growing.
Lately, I’ve been diving deep into AI and how it’s shaping the world. I recently completed an AI Engineering course, and it’s been fascinating to see how artificial intelligence is evolving. Every day, there’s something new—better models, more automation, new possibilities. It’s exciting, but also a little overwhelming because things move so fast. Keeping up with all the advancements feels like a challenge, but it’s one I enjoy.
Learning about AI isn’t just about understanding the technology; it’s about seeing where it fits into real life. AI is already everywhere—recommendation systems, chatbots, automation tools—but there’s still so much potential. I find myself wondering about the future. How will AI change the way we work? How can it be used responsibly? These are big questions, and I don’t have all the answers, but I like thinking about them.
At the same time, I don’t want to spend all my time just staring at screens. That’s where journaling comes in. It’s something I’ve been trying to do more of, and I’ve realized how helpful it is. Writing things down helps me process my thoughts, whether it’s about AI, personal goals, or just random ideas. Some days, I just do a simple recap of what happened. Other days, I write whatever comes to mind without worrying about structure.
One thing I’ve been experimenting with is keeping a commonplace book—a place to jot down quotes, ideas, or anything that stands out to me. It’s a simple habit, but it helps me remember things that I might otherwise forget. And unlike typing on a screen, writing by hand feels different. It forces me to slow down, which is something I don’t do often enough.
It’s funny how two very different things—AI and journaling—are both teaching me something valuable. AI is all about the future, about efficiency and innovation. But journaling is about the present, about taking a moment to reflect. Balancing both feels important. It’s easy to get caught up in the rush of learning and working, but making time to slow down makes all the difference.
Not every day is perfectly productive, and not every journal entry is profound, but that’s okay. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress.
