Are you still relying on outdated task lists and missing out on the AI revolution? What if I told you that within days of using ChatGPT Tasks, my productivity levels soared and team efficiency started transforming – and yours can too, right now? Let me show you how I'm harnessing AI to drive my Runpreneur mission even further, as I push towards Day 4,292, a colossal 40,075km, and a fundraising target of £1,000,000 for children's causes!
Hey, it’s Kevin Brittain here – the Runpreneur, run vlogging daily to inspire change and raise vital funds for children. Today, I want to share a game changer: my early experiences with ChatGPT Tasks, the latest beta update from OpenAI that’s – quite honestly – on track to disrupt how we manage and delegate tasks, forever.
Forget static to-do lists and scattered reminders. Imagine a personal AI assistant that schedules, prioritises, automates email and device alerts, and shuffles your workload based on capacity, delegation, and what matters most for your goals.
Let’s get real: as I edge toward a global running challenge – 11+ years of consecutive daily runs, barefoot around the world, aiming to raise £1,000,000 – efficiency means everything. That’s why this new ChatGPT Tasks feature piqued my interest.
For context, my Digital Operations Director product is all about workflow optimisation, people management, systems, processes, and AI automation. Now, ChatGPT Tasks takes this to the next level:
Task Assignments Made Easy: Like a reminder's app, but smarter. Schedule tasks for “next Wednesday at 4pm”, receive email & push notifications, and never lose track again.
Intuitive AI-Driven Lists: Ask ChatGPT for your current to-dos, tick off what’s done, and it remembers what’s left.
Custom Rule Power: I use my CHAT DPT method (Delegate, Priority, Time) for every task:
Delegate: Is the task for me or a team member?
Priority: Project-based, urgent, or non-urgent?
Time: How long will it really take?
Each morning, ChatGPT Tasks prompts me about appointments, adapting my daily plan to my real available hours. Delegate a job to a teammate? ChatGPT gently nudges me with a five-minute follow-up, sorted by priority and person. No more endless scrolling or missed deadlines.
This innovation isn’t just about ticking boxes. It lets me:
Focus on What Matters: Project-based work first, then urgent, then non-urgent – all fit into my working capacity.
Automate Delegation: Assign, follow-up, and visual clarity on who's doing what.
Voice Control: Talk to my AI, and watch my entire daily schedule auto-update – hands-free, just like when I run.
Every day at 4pm, ChatGPT prompts me to review what I’ve completed, updating my lists and helping reflect, adjust, and prepare for tomorrow.
Is it perfect? Not yet. (Be honest, what truly is?) Tweaking the prompts and rules continues, but the potential is massive.
I truly believe auto-scheduling AI is about to transform team management, prevent overload, and drive efficiency to new heights. For charities, entrepreneurs, business owners – or anyone with big goals – AI can be a substantial force multiplier.
If you’re not weaving AI and automation into your daily systems, you’re already lagging. But it’s not too late! The world’s just starting to unlock the full potential of smart automation.
