I Stopped Chasing the AI Tool of the Week, and My Work Got Better
New model drops feel urgent. Most of them change nothing about how I actually work.
Every week a new tool promises to replace my stack. I tried chasing them and got nowhere.
The truth is that my work is bottlenecked by clarity, not tooling. A new model doesn't fix a vague brief.
I now pick two or three tools and learn them deeply instead of sampling fifty.
The gains came from knowing one tool's edges, not from owning the newest one.
FOMO is a productivity tax. Picking and staying beat collecting.
