Airplane mode 9-11AM and 4-6PM — protected focus peaks.

Track every energy drain for a week, then eliminate or reduce three — and half your lost energy returns.

On payday, auto-transfer 10-20% to savings/investing before any expense.

Document ideal weekly routine in one page: when wake, exercise, work, sleep.

Pick a task, compute: frequency x duration x doer's wage. If result > 5,000 USD annually, automate it.

Don't automate before knowing what's worth it — log a week, analyze, then act.

Every recurring copy-paste = automation chance — find, count, automate.

Per recurring meeting: "does it produce decision/action?" — if no, kill it.

Every doc type written 3+× yearly has template — write once, use forever.

Per daily-used tool: learn 5 shortcuts — minutes/day saved = hours/year.

Don't report what went as expected. Report only what breached the allowed threshold — silence is reassurance.

Before requesting a developer to automate a process, trial it with a no-code tool for two weeks first — if it works, you saved months.

Set clear policy: which decisions will never be delegated to AI in your team.

A fixed daily time and place for homework — less negotiation, more focus.

Request output as JSON with a defined schema to enable automated processing without manual parsing.

Set 20 shortcuts (e.g., ";eml" types your full signature) to save hours weekly.

Each morning, write a schedule naming what you'll do each 15-min slot — fewer decisions, 2x output.

Break a big task into 4-6 sequential steps, each a separate prompt + human verification.

For each task automated with AI, ask: "Freed for higher value, or replaced my learning?".

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

When delegating a multi-step chained task to the model, define mandatory human-review checkpoints before continuing.
