Room to Think
Making room for the work that deserves our attention.
The appeal of getting through the working day with fewer obstacles is easy to understand. Less time searching, rewriting, or repeating the same steps can make a meaningful difference to anyone carrying a full workload.
What interests me is the room that creates for work we too often postpone: a better conversation with a client, a closer look at a recurring problem, or the chance to teach someone instead of fixing everything ourselves.
These choices rarely appear in a technology demonstration. They belong to the people who understand the business and live with the consequences of its decisions.
This week’s cover story approaches AI from that perspective. I hope it offers a useful pause before the next purchase, process change, or promise of greater efficiency—a moment to consider what we would like the improvement to make possible.
