Before all facts are known, issue a ready holding statement within minutes saying "we know, we're acting" — not silence that invites speculation.

Open with shocking stat, personal story, or challenging question — first 30 sec.

3 endings: call-to-action, powerful quote, callback to opening story.

Each presentation = one takeaway only. Not 3, not 5. One.

After any meeting, within 24h: thanks, something enjoyed, concrete next-24h step.

Before any speech/pitch/meeting, define: what one sentence, if remembered a week later, means I succeeded?

Show the model 2-5 examples of the desired output style so it mirrors the pattern with high precision.

Use an LLM to draft an email in 30 seconds, then edit by hand for personal tone.

Don't know how to ask? Ask: "What's the best prompt to get X?" — it writes a prompt better than any expert.

Give the model 2-3 complete input-output examples before your ask, instead of explaining the rule verbally.

Like text shortcuts, build a library of full templates (presentation, simple contract, weekly report) instead of starting from scratch every time.
