About this FieldTrip

With new AI tools launching every day, it’s easy to feel paralyzed by choice.

This session is designed to cut through the noise and help you focus on what really works.

You’ll learn a handful of simple, proven productivity hacks—ways to save time, organize information, and actually use AI without adding to your overwhelm.

Think of it as a reset button: practical workflows you can apply immediately, no matter which tools you use.

Agenda

  • ✔️ Kickoff & Reset: We’ll start with a quick reflection on how AI tools are showing up in your daily work—and where overwhelm creeps in.

 

✔️ Live Demo of Hacks: I’ll walk you through 5 practical productivity hacks using AI, from organizing ideas to repurposing notes and simplifying workflows.

 

✔️ Hands-On Exercise: You’ll try one of the hacks live, with a short guided prompt to see immediate results in your own work.

 

✔️ Group Reflection: We’ll pause to share takeaways in the chat, so you leave with ideas that go beyond just my examples.

 

✔️ Wrap-Up & Resources: You’ll get a remixable template so you can apply these workflows right away.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
