Accomplishing More with Less Stress: Focus, AI, and Vibe Writing (AML) Workshop

"Workshop" written in front of a computer with an hourglass

In an environment where professionals are expected to do more with limited time, constant demands, and growing complexity, this updated workshop features a live demonstration of what I call "vibe writing"—a conversational approach to working with AI through a fluid, back-and-forth process that helps users think through ideas, generate drafts, and refine content in real time.

Rather than working in isolation, participants experience how this collaborative workflow can improve clarity, reduce friction, and accelerate meaningful progress. Throughout, participants learn how AI can assist with planning, sense-making, drafting, and reflection, helping reduce cognitive load while maintaining clarity and intention.

Key takeaways:

  • Practical strategies for balancing focused work with collaborative demands
  • Clear frameworks for managing competing priorities and setting realistic expectations
  • Techniques for strengthening attention and reducing mental overload
  • Practical approaches for using AI to support planning, drafting, and reflection
  • Simple, repeatable workflow practices that improve follow-through and continuous learning
