In this special crossover episode with my mate Shelley Johnson from This Is Work, we sat down with printed lists and compared notes on 25 things that 2025 taught us. Along the way, patterns emerged around how we show up, where our energy gets spent, and the ways our work is changing beneath us.  

Shelley and I discuss: 
Why energy has become the most useful lens for thinking about performance, focus and resilience 
How boundaries, rest and creating margin changed the way I worked this year 
Why embarrassment can be an unexpected teacher and a healthy check on the ego 
The difference between psychological safety and psychological comfort at work 
Why connection matters more than charisma when it comes to influence 
How AI has shifted from being a tool to something closer to a coworker 
Why deadlines, postmortems and focusing on the problem instead of the person improve team dynamics 
Small posture and workflow changes that made a big difference to how I felt at work 

 

KEY QUOTES 

“Energy is the new KPI.” 

“The wins are never as good as you think, and the losses are never as bad as you think. Keep going.”

You know those annoyingly successful people who seem to have it all figured out? Time to steal their playbook. Organisational psychologist Dr Amantha Imber gets world‑class achievers to spill their secrets - the daily strategies behind their success through to life hacks and productivity hacks they’d rather keep to themselves. We’re talking practical tips for boosting your output (including clever AI tools and shortcuts that’ll make you look like a genius), managing overwhelm without losing your mind, and optimising both work and wellbeing.

How I Work

25 things 2025 taught us about work, wellbeing, & AI

Download Inventium.ai's anti-AI slop prompt here: https://amantha-imber.kit.com/d5f746bd3e

You can always tell when something's been written by AI. The LinkedIn post that opens with "in today's fast-paced world." The article that ends with "it's not about X, it's about Y." Technically fine, but somehow hollow. Like it was written by nobody in particular.

The frustrating part is that this can happen even when you're doing the real thinking. You write the ideas, hand it to AI for a cleanup, and it flattens your voice, packs it with em-dashes, and strips out everything that sounded like you.

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I get into the specific instructions you can give AI to keep your writing sounding human, and share some of the most overused AI words and phrases worth banning from your prompts entirely.

Neo and I cover:
Why sounding like AI is a credibility problem, even when you've done the actual thinking and are only using AI to refine and edit your work.
The single most important instruction to give AI when asking it to clean up your writing.
Why em-dashes are so hard to eliminate from AI output, and the specific phrasing (including pasting in the actual dash character) that gives you the best chance of getting rid of them.
Using a ninth-grade reading level as a brief to keep language plain, accessible, and free of jargon.
Why it's fine to let AI start a sentence with "and" or "but" occasionally, and which stiff transition words (like "additionally" and "moreover") to ban outright.
What "corrective antithesis" is, why AI overuses it, and how to cut it down with a simple instruction and example in your prompt.
Amantha's process for building a mega anti-AI slop prompt.
How to build your own personal banned-words list, so AI stops using words that don't sound like you.

**Record a question for Amantha’s next Ask Me Anything here: https://www.speakpipe.com/howiwork **  

It's Ask Me Anything time!

I asked listeners of How I Work to send in the biggest challenges they’re facing at work right now: from AI overwhelm to constant meetings to feeling busy but not actually making progress.

In this Ask Me Anything episode, I tackle questions like:
Why AI is making some people busier, not more productive
How to reclaim focus when your day is full of meetings
The biggest productivity mistake I see smart people make
What actually helps prevent burnout (hint: it’s not yoga at lunchtime)

Plus I share practical strategies you can start using immediately — including my LiPS prioritisation strategy, ways we reduce meetings at Inventium, and how to protect your energy at work.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or stuck in “busy mode”, this episode is for you.

 

Amantha recommends: 

These are a few of the tools we use at Inventium to reduce meetings, communicate more effectively, and get work done faster.
Loom:http://loom.com/ Our go-to for async communication. Instead of jumping on a meeting, we’ll record a quick video to share updates, feedback, or walkthroughs.
Tella:https://www.tella.tv/ A more polished version of Loom. I use this a lot for client-facing communication – especially when walking through proposals or ideas in a more engaging way.

If you’re looking to go beyond just “using AI” and actually start saving time with it, check out Inventium’s latest AI programs for 2026 - designed to help you use AI strategically and creatively in your work. https://www.inventium.ai/  

 

Have a question you want me to answer in the next AMA episode? Reach out via email (amantha@inventium.com.au) or socials – I’d love to hear from you!

Ask Me Anything with Dr Amantha Imber: Burnout, AI, Productivity & The Biggest Mistakes Knowledge Workers Make

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/c4e1e1eb-88f7-4cd2-b8f0-b41000680c7c/transcript

That wall of industry newsletters in your inbox isn’t a reading list. It’s a stress list. 

You tell yourself you’ll get to them later. You don’t. And the pile keeps growing. 

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I explore how to use AI as a structured research assistant. Not just to summarise articles, but to filter signal from noise, prioritise what’s actually relevant to you, and automatically deliver regular briefings so you don’t even have to remember to run the search. 

Neo and I cover: 
How to give AI the right context so it knows exactly what “new” means to you 
Why vague prompts produce vague research – and how to fix that 
How to define trusted sources and instruct AI where to search 
Structuring your report so it highlights impact, availability and practical relevance 
How to ask AI to prioritise credible sources over hype 
Setting up scheduled searches in ChatGPT using “schedule this” so reports run weekly or daily 
How scheduling works in Copilot and what to know about current limits 
Creating sections like quick hits, watch lists and hype watch to make reports easier to scan 
Why you should always request links so you can verify and dive deeper
