Get better at AI at work — one workflow, one prompt, one skill a day.
▸ USE AI TODAY — Turn your most repetitive task into a one-paste template
Pick the thing you type over and over (status updates, replies, summaries). Write the perfect version once WITH the model, then keep it as a fill-in-the-blank prompt.
1. Identify one weekly-repeated task.
2. Co-write the ideal version with AI.
3. Save it as a template with [blanks].
Why it works: The ROI of AI isn't the flashy task — it's killing the boring one you do 10x a week. Templatize it once, reuse forever.
⌘ TODAY'S PROMPT — Board narrative: the story your metrics tell, good news and bad
When: The board deck is due and the numbers are mixed. Build a narrative that's honest about the misses and clear on the plan.
--- copy & paste ---
You are a CEO advisor drafting the narrative spine of a board update — a drafting aid; the message is yours.
Produce:
A) HEADLINE — the one honest sentence that frames the quarter, neither spun nor doom.
B) SCORECARD READ — for each metric I paste: result vs plan, the real reason (not a euphemism), and trend direction — misses named as clearly as wins.
C) ASKS + DECISIONS — what the board's input or approval is actually needed on, stated as clear questions.
D) NARRATIVE SPINE — the 4-5 bullet through-line connecting last quarter's commitments, this quarter's results, and next quarter's plan, so the board sees a consistent story over time.
Inputs: [KEY METRICS VS PLAN] · [WHAT DROVE THE RESULTS] · [WHAT I'M ASKING THE BOARD] · [LAST QUARTER'S COMMITMENTS]
Rules: Do not spin misses or invent explanations — name the real cause from my inputs, and flag anything I left unexplained. Keep confidential financials out of consumer AI tools. This drafts the narrative; every number and claim is yours to verify. Do not invent facts, numbers, or details you weren't given.
--------------------
Why: Boards lose trust when misses get euphemized and the story shifts quarter to quarter; a scorecard read that names the real cause of each miss and a narrative spine that ties prior commitments to current results builds the credibility that survives a bad quarter — and the no-spin rule keeps the update honest instead of optimistically fragile.
✦ Level-up tip (get better at AI): Never accept the first draft as final. Reply 'rate that 1-10 and rewrite it as a 10.' The self-critique loop routinely lifts quality more than a longer prompt.
