How I Work

Ask Me Anything with Dr. Amantha Imber: Procrastination hacks, my AI workflows, and task management hacks (Part 1)


Listen Later

**Record a question for Amantha’s next Ask Me Anything here: https://www.speakpipe.com/howiwork ** 

What do you do when procrastination takes over? How can AI actually change your workflows? And what are the best systems to manage tasks? 

In this AMA episode, I answer listener questions on procrastination, the Right to Disconnect laws, process bottlenecks, and how I use AI tools in my everyday work. These are the challenges so many of us wrestle with - and I share my practical strategies, missteps, and experiments. 

In this episode, I share: 

  • How I break down overwhelming tasks (including writing my fifth book) and strategies I use to beat procrastination. 
  • Why the Right to Disconnect laws may not fit modern, flexible workplaces - and what managers need to rethink. 
  • Where to start when fixing a bottleneck in your processes, and how AI can help. 
  • My system for keeping notes, tasks, and reminders organised. 
  • The GPTs, prompt libraries, and tools I rely on daily - from proposal writing to creating Instagram reels. 

Amantha recommends: 

  • Notion: My digital command centre for projects, tasks, and notes  
  • Granola: My go-to meeting notes app that combines live transcripts with my human notes to capture every detail 
  • Tella: A simple tool I use for recording and sharing video proposals to add a personal touch 
  • Zapier & n8n: Automation powerhouses that streamline repetitive tasks and free up hours every week 
  • Jeff Su: A productivity YouTuber whose Notion course transformed how I set up and run my system
