AI hands you back an hour. Then you spend it asking AI what to do next.

A new study from Hubstaff found that most people using AI at work save at least an hour a week, and a third save four hours or more. But only about a quarter of them do anything useful with that time. Employees at least have a boss waiting to claim the hour. ADHD entrepreneurs don’t, so saved time drifts toward whatever’s new, loud or urgent. This week Steve looks at where those hours go and how to get them back.

Key points:

• Why AI-saved time is easier to lose when you’re the boss
• The “decision spin”: treating long AI conversations as progress
• How AI makes starting over cheap, and why that hurts Sustaining
• The weekly anchor that keeps AI working for your most important thing
