Use tools intentionally, not by default.
Ask: Does this tool solve my actual problem better than alternatives? If yes, use it. If no, skip it.

Stay in control, understand what you’re using and why, and keep the thinking in your hands. If a tool starts replacing your judgment instead of augmenting it, that’s a sign to step back.

Build skills that don’t depend on any single tool, then tools become optional enhancements, not necessities.
