I'd say that I am the main problem. If I was a bit cleverer, or better at time management, I'd be better at finding customers? I don't think that's an AI thing, that's a "me" thing.
Still, I'm making a living doing this, working less, and have way more control over my own life. My life kind of rules now compared to what it was a year ago.

I personally am doing some LLM work right now where, if successful, I will have accomplished what was years worth of effort in a couple of weeks.
But I feel "totally disorganized" in the way I'm doing it. I think that may be inevitable since becoming organized is a natural part of doing a project the slow, "old fashioned way" and just orienting oneself to the process can be a significant and inevitable part of the effort.

Honestly, my strategy has been "building custom tools to help me cope" having lots of terminal tabs open, tmux, and hope.
That statement seems to somewhat fly against the statement you have unparalleled productivity.
I feel like the way LLMs work involves them allowing you to do things you previously simply couldn't do but doing those tasks involves really a lot of effort at controlling the things. It's compressing "one kind of hard part" (actually writing code is another a hard part that's taken care but articulate/evaluate).
Which is to say, it seems like you're "working harder than you say"
