A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence is a Game Changer

Being a working mom has always meant juggling two full-time jobs—your career and your family. But for the first time, we have a tool powerful enough to actually lighten the load, Artificial Intelligence. Indeed, AI is the gift that working moms have been waiting for!  

Seriously, don't be scared. AI isn't about replacing us as moms or as employees. It's about helping us do what we do even better because it gives us what we desperately need, more time to do what we need to do.

Three examples of how AI can help improve life for working moms:

  1. Easing Meal Planning: I have seen multiple moms complaining about the demands of motherhood on Instagram. One common refrain is that we have to figure out what our families eat every single night of the week. I don't find that particular chore to be unduly onerous. However, many moms appear to be overwhelmed by it. Well, guess what?! AI can generate your menu, tell you what supplies you need to make it, and generate a grocery list to make shopping easier.
  2. Improving Life Organization: One issue that does challenge me is organizing my life in a way that reduces chaos and confusion, especially since the kids father resides in another household. AI can help you better organize your calendar and identify where you might need the assistance of the other parent, a grandparent or a babysitter.   It can also help you create a reliable reminder system that keep track of school forms, work deadlines, and doctor appointments so you don't have to. So, for working moms—who carry the invisible labor of planning, remembering, coordinating, and caring—AI is more than a convenience. It's a HUGE relief.
  3. Increasing Work Efficiency: Being a working mom often means that you have two competing obligations--working for the man and working for your kids. So, controlling your work schedule schedule and increasing your efficiency can help you become a more present mom. One way that it improves efficiency is the speed with which it helps you convert ideas into emails. AI can literally help you cut your email generation time in half.

At a high level, the best thing about AI is that it gives you an electronic system to help you manage your life and your home and help alleviate the burden of "doing it all" by giving you a true management partner as opposed to simply someone who does what you tell them to do. AI never forgets.  AI never overwhelmed. Also AI never pushes back and expects you to "just figure it out." It is there for you. And, it helps creates more space for what you value most, being present with your kids and excelling in your career. In a word, AI helps you on your quest for balance, in your stilettos!
