When Heat Breaks Your Already-Overloaded Brain (13% Slower Reaction Time Is Real)
Manage episode 495924338 series 3665060
Ever notice your brain just stops working when it's blazing hot outside? You're not imagining it. Research shows that at 90 degrees, your reaction time slows by 13% and your brain's ability to process information drops significantly. For those of us already juggling overloaded lives, heat can turn our minds to complete mush.
In this episode of Human First AI, host Claire shares her personal breakthrough moment - sitting in her sweltering, non-air conditioned studio, staring at piles of chaos and feeling completely paralyzed. Instead of forcing another to-do list, she discovered how to use AI as a "visual thinking partner" to cut through the overwhelm.
You'll learn:
- Why heat literally impairs the same brain functions many of us already struggle with
- The "chaos photography" method: documenting your overwhelm without judgment
- How to upload photos to ChatGPT and ask the right questions to identify patterns you can't see
- Why adding your Enneagram type creates game-changing personalized strategies
- How to distinguish between urgent tasks and visual noise that's just adding to stress
This isn't about having AI solve everything for you - it's about building your own understanding and developing better patterns for how your brain works under stress. Perfect for anyone who thinks in pictures rather than lists, or feels completely stuck when the temperature rises.
Because sometimes you need a smarter mirror to show you what you can't see in the moment.
Human First AI drops every two weeks with practical solutions for real everyday problems - because AI should support what makes us beautifully human.
