Make a checklist you can reuse, delegate, or improve the next time you do the task.
Steal this
If you do something twice, you can make it easier the third time. This turns AI into a process builder.
Turn this repeat task into a simple SOP. Task: [describe the task] Current messy process: [write what you usually do, even if it is rough] What can go wrong: [missed step, quality issue, delay, confusion] Create: 1. A one-sentence purpose. 2. A prep checklist. 3. The step-by-step process. 4. A quality check before I call it done. 5. A faster version for busy days. 6. One way to automate or delegate part of it later. Keep the checklist simple enough that someone else could follow it.
