Things I offload completely to AI nowadays: 🚫Saying no thanks as I am bad at turning down stuff as a yes person 🇫🇮 Writing anything formal in Finnish as a fennoswede 📝 Meeting notes and followups 🔍 Search, if my query is longer than one word 🥗 Coming up with food recipes at the store On a personal level it's all about removing friction from many small tasks that otherwise could cause fatigue. The next time you procrastinate in front of a task - try handing it to AI.

I am excited about the upcoming AWS Stockholm Summits this week! If we haven't arranged to meet yet and you would like to connect, feel free to reach out. You can find more details about the Tuesday summit here: https://lnkd.in/dNAHE7mA This week promises to be busy, so it's a great time to reflect on the 6 Japanese Techniques for Well-being. These philosophies and practices can enhance purpose, mindfulness, gratitude, and acceptance in our daily lives, leading to improved well-being and balance. IKIGAI: Finding Joy and Purpose Find something makes you want to wake up each day, that purpose will fuel you. It's about pursuing activities that bring fulfillment and joy KAIZEN: Continuous Improvement Te practice of continuous improvement through small, incremental changes. It emphasizes gradual progress and consistency. Don't try do everything at once. POMODORO: Mastering Focus and Productivity A technique that emerges as a beacon of structured productivity. Traditionally set at 25 minutes, known as “Pomodoros.” Each Pomodoro is followed by a short break, typically lasting five minutes, allowing individuals to recharge before diving back into the next focused sessio HARA HACHI BU: Mindful Eating for Longevity Instead of indulging until full satiation, individuals are encouraged to stop eating when they are around 80% full. This deliberate and conscious approach to portion control aligns with the Japanese belief that overeating is counterproductive to health and longevity. SHOSHIN: Cultivating Fresh Perspectives Approach every task as a beginner with the same curiosity as if it was your first time. This childlike curiosity and receptivity create a mental space where new possibilities can emerge, and learning opportunities abound. WABI-SABI: Embracing Imperfection Instead of stressing over every detail, taking action is often better, perfection is often unattainable, find profound beauty in the irregular, the worn, and the imperfect. Enjoy your week ahead. #aws #amazon #mindfulness #partnerships #stockholm #summit

Is AI the solution to improving mental well-being in the IT industry ? I’ve shared my thoughts in Computerworld today. Most of us are familiar with the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of the IT Industry. And while AI is hailed as the key to boosting productivity, a recent report from Computerworld Danmark tells a different story. In Denmark, 45% of IT professionals feel overworked, and 50% say the pressure is simply too much. This raises an important issue: innovation may be thriving, but employee well-being is falling behind. From my own experience, I’ve seen how the relentless push to stay ahead of the latest tech can lead to burnout and disengagement. AI has the potential to take over repetitive tasks and free up time for more meaningful work, but we must be careful not to put the entire burden of productivity on employees. Instead, tech vendors should focus on creating AI solutions that integrate smoothly into existing workflows, reducing stress rather than adding to it. But technology alone won’t solve the problem. Companies need to build value-driven cultures that prioritize both mental and physical well-being. While AI can help, a holistic approach—combining technology with a supportive, inclusive workplace – is the key to long-term success. What’s your experience with AI when it comes to balancing productivity and well-being? https://lnkd.in/dFQt5ky8
