The 90-Minute AI Workday: Get More Done in Less Time

What if you could achieve a full day’s worth of productivity… in just 90 minutes?

Thanks to AI, this isn’t just possible—it’s becoming the new standard for high performers.

In this post, I’ll walk you through exactly how to design a 90-minute AI-powered workday, so you can focus on impact, not busywork.

Why 90 Minutes Works Best

Our brains operate in natural ultradian rhythms—cycles of deep focus followed by recovery. Science shows most people max out their deep focus at around 90 minutes before attention dips.
Instead of stretching your day with endless tasks, you can compress your most important work into a short, high-impact sprint—then let AI handle the rest.

The Core Principle: AI as Your Co-Worker

In a 90-minute AI workday, you don’t just work faster—you work smarter by offloading everything repetitive, slow, or distracting to AI.

Think of AI as:

  • Your personal researcher

  • Your writing assistant

  • Your scheduler & project tracker

  • Your data analyzer

  • Your creative brainstorm partner

Step 1: Plan with AI (10 Minutes)

Start your day by having AI prioritize for you.

Tool Suggestions:

  • Motion or Reclaim.ai – Auto-schedules your deep work around meetings.

  • ChatGPT + Calendar Integration – Prompt:

    “Look at today’s calendar and tasks. Suggest a 90-minute deep work block and prioritize what will create the most impact.”

Outcome: A clear, AI-optimized plan for your sprint.

Step 2: Deep Work Sprint with AI Support (70 Minutes)

1. Research Faster

  • Use Perplexity AI or ChatGPT with Web Access to gather insights, sources, and comparisons instantly.

  • Prompt:

    “Give me a concise brief on [topic] with relevant stats and actionable takeaways.”

2. Write or Create Faster

  • Use Notion AI for drafting reports, emails, or blog posts.

  • Use Jasper for brand-consistent marketing copy.

3. Analyze Faster

Pro Tip: Keep your AI chat open alongside your work. Treat it like an assistant you can “tap on the shoulder” whenever you hit friction.

Step 3: Wrap-Up & Automate Follow-Ups (10 Minutes)

After your 70-minute sprint, let AI handle all remaining loose ends:

  • Summarize your work

  • Draft follow-up emails

  • Set tasks in your project management tool

Tool Suggestions:

  • Zapier or Make – Auto-send AI-generated summaries to your team or CRM.

  • Prompt:

    “Summarize today’s work in 3 bullet points, assign next steps, and email them to my team.”

What to Do with the Rest of Your Day

The beauty of the 90-minute AI workday is freedom. Once your high-priority work is done, you can:

  • Use AI to maintain smaller tasks in short bursts

  • Take meetings, calls, and creative breaks

  • Focus on long-term strategy and learning

The Bottom Line

You don’t need to grind 8+ hours to be productive anymore.
By combining science-backed focus cycles with AI-powered leverage, you can:

  • Do more in less time

  • Protect your focus

  • Avoid burnout

  • Spend your energy where it matters most

Your challenge: Tomorrow, block a 90-minute sprint and let AI handle everything except the work that only you can do.
