๐Ÿง  17. How AI Cut My Weekly PM Work from 40 Hours to 20

I was working 40+ hours a week as a PMโ€”until I started using AI. Hereโ€™s how I cut my workload in half without sacrificing quality or delivery.

๐Ÿ˜ฉ The Pain of Working 10+ Hour Days as a PM

A few months ago, I was clocking 10-hour days just to keep up with documentation:
  • Weekly status reports
  • Client update emails
  • Sprint summaries
  • Risk logs
  • Meeting notes
  • Onboarding briefs
  • KPI decks
Every task felt urgent. Every minute felt manual.
I was living inside Google Docs, toggling Notion, Excel, Slack โ€” and still falling behind.

๐Ÿ”„ How I Realized I Needed to Automate PM Work

The moment that pushed me over the edge?
A Friday 10PM scramble to rewrite a status report โ€” for the third time โ€” because the stakeholder โ€œdidnโ€™t like the tone.โ€
Thatโ€™s when I started experimenting with AI.
Not just generic prompts โ€” but PM-specific AI workflows I could customize and reuse.

๐Ÿค– My AI Stack for Project Management (Real Tools I Use)

After testing dozens of options, I built a full-stack system using:
  • โœ… ChatGPT for all writing and summaries
  • โœ… Notion as my prompt launcher + template hub
  • โœ… A set of 10 plug-and-play prompt templates I now reuse daily
Hereโ€™s what I replaced:
โŒ Manual Task
โœ… AI Workflow
Writing status reports from scratch
AI Status Report Generator
Drafting client emails
AI Client Communication Kit

I spend that time actually leading projects โ€” not formatting them.
