AI is overwhelming and I'm doing it wrong

Ben Tossell reflects on feeling stuck and overwhelmed by AI, describing how he cut his newsletter from five days a week to two and unsubscribed 60k+ inactive readers, and argues that agents should serve him rather than the reverse. He outlines a 30-day plan including morning pages, using agents only for things he finds fun, and no new tools unless they solve a clear pain. The post also quotes reactions from others, including Ivana's view that people getting the most out of AI could do the work without it and Matt Wensing's concern that agent activity outside coding may be busywork rather than value creation.
