With recent advancements in AI and robotics, we're in for more automation in a short time than the world’s ever seen. Most careers that rely on knowing or performing specialized procedural knowledge will likely be altered beyond recognition within a decade.

What’s that mean for us? It’s important to identify which aspects of our work are ripe for automation and practice a kind of pragmatic flexibility to quickly swap our current information, systems, or tools for new ones that work better. (And that’s a good practice even if things don’t change so fast.)

Also, thanks to Justin Hall for the help in developing this idea. Justin writes the more enjoyable Substack below:
