Work my to-do list for two weeks — 7 items done in week one, 0 in week two
Sid Saladi documents a two-week experiment: after a 20-minute sort of his to-do list into DO, DRAFT, REMIND or GOAL, the AI ran it with a morning plan, an evening digest and a Friday sweep — including checking his inbox every morning for a refund email that had sat red for three weeks. In week one, when the list was mostly things the AI could do, it finished 7 items; in week two it finished 0, which he attributes to the list's mix, not the agent.
This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.
How it works
- Sort every to-do item in 20 minutes into DO, DRAFT, REMIND or GOAL
- Hand the list to the AI with Google Tasks/Notion connectors
- The AI writes its own rules, a morning plan, an evening digest and a Friday sweep
- The AI checks his inbox each morning for the awaited refund email
- Week one: 7 items finished
- Week two: 0 items finished
Why it’s worth knowing
The same setup scored 7-0 across two weeks — the sort, not the agent, decided the result.
