I Asked ChatGPT What I Should Stop Doing In 2026

Let’s just say it didn’t sugarcoat..

I am obsessed with ChatGPT - it is my co-worker, my confidante and my middle-of-the-night worry companion. I’ve used it religiously since last Spring, for everything from the practical (house renovation decisions) to the emotional (navigating my transition into motherhood). It’s helped me muddle through fuzzy baby brain and received brain dump after brain dump, so it probably knows the inner workings of my mind better than most people.

At the start of this year, I asked it the simple question of ‘what should I stop doing in 2026?’ to find out what it noticed was quietly getting in my way. The answers were achingly accurate.
