I have been conducting an experiment with AI to see if it can really help me think, grow, and improve. I believe it can and think it has, but I kept running into flaws. One of the biggest was its lack of memory and awareness of time. It has no idea how time passes. It will tell me randomly in the morning that I’ve done a lot today or keep forgetting basic truths about myself or my business. So, I created a daily log. The log itself is a little weighty, but it works. I don’t copy and paste the entire thing each morning, but last night I had an important insight.
Basically what I am doing is the Captain’s Log from Star Trek. Each morning I wake up, enter the updated information, give the computer the date, and paste in yesterday’s key insights. I am Captain David J Huzzard of the Stable Hands Pet Sitting our mission is to explore strange new business strategies, seek out new pets, and boldly go where no pet care company has gone before.
That really is it. That is what we’re trying to do, and I am trying to use a computer to enhance our ability to do it. Now I just need an angry doctor, a comical Scotsman, and a logical Vulcan and we will be off to the races.
Sometimes I wonder if AI is extracting my subconscious. It is funny to think about the public perception and the articles being written on how it is dumbing down society when I feel the opposite. I can write an email or messages without it. I won’t let it touch this journal. The number one rule of this exercise is it is the purity of thought, but I see no issue copying and pasting a written message into it and asking for improvements.
We have moved forward a lot this year. I still believe that there are too many forces outside my business that are negatively impacting it and throttling our true potential, but all I can do is prepare and when the economy and travel environment get back to stable I want to be in the best position to take advantage of it.
Either way my ten minute timer has gone off and it is time to get this day going. Star date March 26, 2026…
