Hello there! I’m Elizabeth, and if you’re juggling a hectic life like I am, you’ve come to the right place. Not only am I a bustling entrepreneur and mum living in London, but I’m also a dedicated learner, currently pursuing university courses and various classes to specialise in leveraging AI in digital businesses, visit the “About Me” section to know me better.
This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share my journey of Integrating AI in daily life, like ChatGPT into everyday tasks to help busy mothers and dynamic families streamline their lives (To learn more about ChatGPT, subscribe to this blog and receive a freebie!).
Why AI in daily life? Because Every Mum Deserves a Break
You’ve probably heard all the buzz about AI in workplaces and schools, right? But what about using AI in daily life to actually make our daily routines a bit less… overwhelming? That’s what drove me to start Routine Revolution.
Here, I explore how combining AI ( machines, softwares..) and Generative AI ( content and data creator) can simplify not just professional tasks but personal and family life management as well.

What is it and What Benefits Brings AI in daily life?
AI (Artificial Intelligence) and generative AI are related but not identical concepts( Further details here).
AI is a broad term that refers to the development of machines and software capable of performing tasks that require human intelligence. This includes problem solving, learning, and decision-making. Traditional AI is great at pattern recognition, analysing historical data, and making predictions based on it. In this blog, I will use the generic concept of AI because it is what daily routines require.
Generative AI, a fraction of artificial intelligence, refers to systems that can generate text, images, and other media in response to instructions. These tools, such as ChatGPT, are transforming both the professional and personal landscapes. In the workplace, both concepts of AI boosts productivity, streamlines decision-making processes, and reduces costs through automation and increased efficiency.
On a personal level, it makes everyday tasks easier, provides personalised recommendations, helps with productivity and encourages creative projects. However, it is critical to approach AI with caution.
While the benefits are significant, there are risks, such as potential biases in AI outputs and data privacy concerns. Being aware of these risks enables us to use AI responsibly and effectively, maximising benefits while minimising drawbacks.
In summary, while traditional AI analyses and predicts, generative AI creates and innovates, with each serving a unique purpose and application in technology.

Breaking Down AI.
Let’s demystify what AI in daily life can do, together. You don’t need to be a tech wizard to use it—trust me, if I can do it, so can you. AI can be as simple as giving a command or asking a question to an AI tool like ChatGPT. Wondering what a prompt is? It’s just tech-speak for telling AI what you need in a way that it understands. Whether you need a shopping list sorted or a quick way to plan your week, just prompt the AI, and voilà, consider it done.
Integrating AI in daily life : A Day in My Life
Imagine starting your day with peace of mind, knowing exactly what you need to do and when, thanks to a little help from AI. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how I harness the power of artificial intelligence to streamline a typical day:
Morning Routine: After the morning rush of getting the kids ready to go to school or nursery, I finally have a moment to breathe and enjoy my breakfast. This is when I sit down with my laptop, play music or listen to the Spanish Radio which I love, and open ChatGPT .
I start by listing everything I need to get done for the day, such as:
- Respond emails
- Admin duties
- Blog post drafting
- Social media updates
- website and order logistic planning
- Grocery shopping
- Picking up the kids
- Preparing lunch/dinner…
I then ask ChatGPT to organise these tasks into a sensible schedule. Here’s a prompt I often use:
“Hi ChatGPT, here’s my list for today. Can you organise these into a schedule starting after I drop my daughter off at 9 am and ending by 5 pm? Please allocate time for a lunch break and short breaks between tasks.” This is how it looks like on my phone.
ChatGPT processes this information and outputs a detailed timetable, allocating specific times to each task and ensuring there’s a nice flow to the day.
Yes, I even schedule my hair wash days! Otherwise, I will end up being last on my own “To-Do” List. You know what I mean, right? How many times have you just tied up your hir because you missed wash day due to prioritising any other task? So now, if it’s on the schedule, its happening!
“If You Want To Be More Productive, You Need To Become Master of Your Minutes.”

Now is Time to Transferring to Echo and Alexa devices :
Once I have the schedule, I input the key tasks into Alexa as timed reminders. For example, Alexa will remind me at 10:30 am, “Start drafting your blog post,” and at 2 pm, “Begin preparing for your client meeting.” This helps keep me on track throughout the day without having to constantly check the clock or worry about what’s next. Love it!!
