AI Tips
Rank next week’s actions against one goal
- Give your AI assistant one goal, a summary of recent progress and the time you can realistically spend. Use only information you are comfortable sharing.
- Ask it to rank a few possible actions by likely impact and effort, explaining its assumptions rather than promising a guaranteed return.
- Choose a manageable set with measurable outcomes. At week’s end, provide the results and revise the ranking.
