Letting AI run your life for 44 days can really change who you are as a mom. Hopefully I don't cry on this one. If you're new here, hi, I'm doing an experiment where I let ChatGPT give me daily to-do lists to upgrade myself in my life. About a week ago, it gave me this one task that's so simple, but honestly, it's rewiring

my brain. I'm calmer, I'm not as overstimulated, and that's saying a lot for me because I'm such a rush-around, busy, multitasking, always-moving kind of person, and I've always been proud of that in myself, but it doesn't mesh super well with this stage of motherhood. Motherhood isn't meant to be powered through and rushed through, it's meant to be savored.

So, ChatGPT gave me this little checklist of things to notice and memorize about my kids, and now I just catch myself soaking in the smell of her hair after her naps and just laughing at how confidently he says words wrong and decides with their little hands when they grab me and how proud they are to show me things.

They haven't changed at all, I just feel like I'm changing. Save this, the checklist will be in the caption, and try memorizing your kids because they're never going to be this little again.
