  "So I listened to some podcasts that were interesting and when I looked into reading about stuff I knew I wasn't going to. I'm not a computer expert, I'm not a tech expert and so I just looked for things that I think were relevant enough related to technology in general and some to AI specifically.

  "Those take up a lot of time and sometimes I wonder if that's productive or not. I think the biggest trap is using the mornings to get work done.
