Date: February 25, 2026

Episode Overview

In this quick, actionable episode, Tristan Ahumada shares his top strategy for using ChatGPT to organize and optimize his daily tasks as a real estate professional. He dives into his method for setting up ChatGPT as a daily digital assistant, ensuring routine accountability, and structuring information to streamline business priorities. Tristan encourages real estate agents to use AI tools intentionally to gain a productivity edge.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Leveraging ChatGPT for Daily Task Management [00:00–01:30]

Tristan explains he's been actively using ChatGPT to help manage his daily numbers and tasks for about a month, experiencing significant benefits.
He highlights the importance of intention: treating ChatGPT sessions with clear purpose, similar to how he approaches his CRM processes.

“When I set up a task on ChatGPT so that it shows up routinely...if 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.”
— Tristan Ahumada [00:20]

2. The Power of Numbering & Structuring Tasks [01:30–02:45]

Details his approach: listing daily tasks in a numbered sequence (1-9), so each morning he knows exactly where to start and what information he’ll review.
His typical lineup includes:
- [1] Real estate news
- [2] Realtor.com, Redfin, Homes.com updates
- [3] Social media trends
- [4] Reddit content
- [5] Finance news (U.S.)
Setting tasks in this way ensures that relevant information is consistently compiled by ChatGPT, reducing overwhelm and decision fatigue.

“I have these as tasks too. So I know that when I look at them every day this information is being pulled into ChatGPT because I’ve requested it to be done.”
— Tristan Ahumada [02:00]

3. Personalizing AI for Your Local Market [02:45–03:30]

Tristan suggests listeners adapt this structure for their own markets, citing examples such as Austin, San Diego, Indianapolis, and Manhattan.
Recommends instructing ChatGPT to pull daily area-specific news or trends, not just real estate items.

“What about your area where you live?...have it pull information about the area, whether it’s news that’s trending, whether it’s real estate related, I don’t care...every day.”
— Tristan Ahumada [02:50]

4. Systemization and Daily Consistency [03:30–04:30]

Emphasizes how numbering and systemizing tasks clarifies his workflow and aligns daily priorities.
Reiterates that having a set task order creates consistency: “Got it. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. And I have nine. So you could do whatever you want.”

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. So I want to share this with you because now it's going on one month or so since I've been doing this. And I absolutely love it because it's not only allowed me to go through my ChatGPT daily specific numbers, but to also go through the tasks. Because what I've noticed is when I set up a task on ChatGPT so that it shows up routinely, right when we talked about that last week, when I said, hey, set up these three tasks on ChatGPT, 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. So, so the purpose of this, I wrote this down. And by the way, this is episode 707. If you need this, message me on Instagram. The idea behind this is that I want to organize how I show up daily. So 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, when I'm opening up a CRM, I'm going to the processes. I'm numbering them here too. I'm like saying, hey, what's more important for me? And if I'm looking at mine right now, I'm looking at the very first thing is real estate news. Second is realtor.com redfin homes.com news. And I have it break it down for me, pull out the information. 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 because I'm in this zone of looking out every morning at this time, I'm going to go through and I'm numbering them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. And I know exactly how I'm going to dig in to AI. Now I have these as tasks too. So I know that when I look at them every day this information is being pulled into ChatGPT because I've requested it to be done. And I want you to do the same thing. Like, 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. And then now because you have them numbered like me, I have number, I put the little one and then I put real estate news number two, Redfin, realtor.com and homes.com. right. Number three, finance news in the United States. Right. And then you could just go through and you know exactly how you're going to show up. 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. Anyway, if you need this, I've kind of outlined exactly how it works, what you should do it, examples, please ask for it. It's episode 707. I'm Tristan, your daily real estate. Thanks for tuning in again. Have an awesome day.
