AI overwhelm is the feeling that everyone else already figured this out. Eliot Prince, an AI coach and the founder of Prince AI Training, breaks down the one hour a day that changed his work, why human expertise matters more as AI becomes a commodity, and why nobody has a head start on you.

Eliot went from twelve-hour shifts in France to fitting five days of work into eight hours, and the method was slower and simpler than most people expect. He talks about the project that was going to fail, the wedding in Greece he was not going to be allowed to work through, and what he did with the hours once they came back.

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY

One hour a day inside your working day is enough, and the payoff arrives slowly and then all at once.

When everyone has the same tools, your people become the advantage, so creativity and connection matter more.

AI can spot the patterns in your own work that the people around you are too close to see.
