Hey! So I did something kind of random.
You know those days where you open YouTube looking for one thing and end up learning about how astronauts use the toilet? Yeah, that was me. All the time. My brain was bouncing around like a tennis ball. I wanted to learn something useful, but I just didn’t know what.
Then I thought:
What if I let AI decide what I learn every day — for a whole month?
No fancy rules. No deep tech stuff. Just a regular person (me), trying to learn something new each day with the help of a chatbot.
Here’s how it went — the good, the bad, and the awkward.
Week 1: Starting Was Easy… Sort of
On Day 1, I asked ChatGPT:
“Hey, can you give me a fun 30-day learning plan?”
It gave me this cute little list with stuff like:
- Learn basic HTML
- Try deep breathing
- Read one page about space
- Practice typing faster
- Learn how the stock market works (??)
Not gonna lie — it felt like school again. But weirdly fun?
I picked the first one: HTML. I’d never coded a thing in my life. The first time I typed <h1>Hello</h1>, I genuinely clapped for myself. Baby steps.
Week 2: I Was Learning… Random but Cool Stuff
Every morning, I’d type:
“What should I learn today?”
And boom — something new.
One day I learned how to meditate. Another day I made a to-do list app (kind of). Then it gave me a list of the healthiest snacks, which I completely ignored while eating chips.
But still — I felt like I was using my time better. Even 10 minutes a day felt like progress.
It was kind of like having a personal assistant who never gets tired or judges you for not knowing how to center a div in CSS.
Week 3: The Motivation Dip Was Real
Midway through the challenge, I started skipping days. I mean… life happens. I overslept, I watched a drama for 5 hours straight, and I just didn’t feel like “learning” anything.
But when I told AI, “I feel unmotivated,” it replied with:
“That’s okay. Even one small step is progress.”
I literally blinked at the screen for a minute. It was cheesy — but also exactly what I needed to hear.
So I came back the next day. Just one lesson. Just one task. It helped.
Week 4: I Started Feeling… Smarter?
By the last week, something clicked.
I wasn’t just following instructions anymore. I was actually starting to understand things. I built a tiny webpage with buttons that worked (kind of). I explained “deep breathing” to my cousin like I was a mini health guru.
I was still asking silly questions like “What’s a JavaScript array again?” but I wasn’t afraid of not knowing. I felt less stuck. More curious. A little more confident.
And honestly? That was the best part.
What I Learned (Besides HTML and Brain Facts)
- AI can be super helpful… but it won’t drag you out of bed. You still gotta show up.
- Learning doesn’t have to be long or perfect. 10 minutes > 0 minutes.
- Asking “dumb” questions is totally fine. AI never rolls its eyes (bless).
- Sometimes you need structure, even if it comes from a robot.
Final Thoughts: Would I Do It Again?
Yeah, actually.
Maybe not for every single day, but when I’m feeling lost or bored? Totally.
AI didn’t make me a genius. I didn’t become a millionaire or a full-stack dev in 30 days.
But I learned stuff. I laughed at myself. I felt less lazy.
And sometimes, that’s enough.
If you’re like me — curious, kind of messy, and trying to do better without losing your mind — give it a try.
Let AI give you a little nudge. Then take it from there. One small step at a time.
