Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Letting AI Structure the Day

• Tristan describes how he has embedded ChatGPT into his morning routine, rearranging both his priorities and tasks with AI as his guide.

• By numbering and categorizing tasks, the platform becomes a digital assistant, cueing what needs to be done next.

  "So I've been doing this daily and I've been rearranging my numbers and my tasks on AI, specifically on ChatGPT, and it's going really well." (00:00)

• He likens the process to logging into a CRM—showing up with intention and following a purposeful, repeatable order.

2. Task Management & Automation

• Tristan discovered that ChatGPT will deactivate routine tasks if the user fails to check in for a few days, emphasizing the need for consistency.

  "When I set those up and I don't show up to read them, it shuts them off. Like after three or four days it says, hey, you haven't been logging in to check the task that I'm setting up, so I'm going to shut it off for now. And I'm like, ah, I don't want that." (00:27)

• By writing down tasks and numbering them (1-9 in his personal system), he ensured nothing falls through the cracks.

3. Information Gathering with AI

• His system includes having ChatGPT pull relevant information from various sources each day (real estate news, market updates from realtor.com, Redfin, homes.com, finance news, and social media trends like Reddit).

  "I'm looking at the very first thing is real estate news. Second is realtor.com, Redfin, homes.com news... And then I have social media, I also have Reddit, I also have finance news. And all of this information can be pulled out for me." (01:13)

• Doing this creates a repeatable, highly organized flow of information customized to his needs and market.

4. Customizing AI Flows for Local Markets

• Tristan encourages listeners to set up a similar workflow for their own metro area, having AI pull trending news—real estate and otherwise—local market stats, or anything meaningful to their business.

  "What about your area where you live? Austin, Texas, San Diego, Indianapolis, Manhattan. Every day, have it pull information about the area, whether it's news that's trending, whether it's real estate related, I don't care, whatever it is every day." (02:18)

• The exact tasks are flexible and can be adjusted to each agent's specific market needs and personal style.

5. The Power of Structure and Intent

• The act of numbering and reviewing these tasks with ChatGPT daily created more deliberate focus. Tristan stresses the transformative impact this structure has made on his productivity.

  "For me, it made the biggest difference. I'm like, got it. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Right. And I have nine. So you could do whatever you want." (02:56)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On accountability and routine:

  "If I know that every time I'm going to open ChatGPT and treat it with more purpose, more intent. It's kind of like when I'm opening up a CRM, I'm going to the processes." (00:55)

• On fostering a personal system:

  "By numbering them here too. I'm like saying, hey, what's more important for me?" (01:09)

• Advice to listeners:

  "If you need this, I've kind of outlined exactly how it works, what you should do, examples, please ask for it." (03:11)
