I Asked ChatGPT to Teach Me Something New Every Day. This Is What Happened

I have always loved the idea of daily growth. Even as a kid I would save some minutes each evening to learn a random fact — maybe about astronomy, maybe a weird phrase, or about some culture half a world away. But life got busy. Work, chores, social media, the noise of it all, it left little space for that deliberate curiosity.

One morning I woke up with a question: what if I asked ChatGPT to teach me one new thing every single day for, let us say, a month. What might happen? Would I get bored, overwhelmed, or would I genuinely change? So I started.

Here is a journal of what came out of that experiment: the surprises, the frustrations, the fun, and what I learned about curiosity itself.

Day 1: A Gentle Start

I messaged: “Teach me something new today.”

ChatGPT responded with an interesting fact: the axolotl that amphibian that stays in its larval form, keeps gills and never quite becomes a “normal” adult salamander. (Yes, weird and wonderful.)

I spent 20 minutes reading a couple articles, watching a quick video, and drawing a sketch of it. It was small, but I felt energized.
