How AI Changes the Way We Work
As more AI tools become available and become more efficient, you go from the one doing the task to the one overseeing it, with the system doing the heavy lifting for you.
It's now much easier to plan and carry out tasks with the help of large language models like Claude or Gemini, with less friction and faster decision-making, giving you more time to focus on meaningful work.
Creating efficient workflows
Traditional productivity uses static to-do lists; AI actively helps you break down tasks, prioritize, and draft content. Instead of a blank page or long list, AI prompts instantly turn rough ideas into clear, actionable steps.
Reducing context switching and mental load
Switching between apps, tabs, or tasks incurs a "context switching" cost. AI mitigates this by centralizing your workflow for summarizing or analyzing. This reduces the mental effort required to start tasks, allowing you to focus on getting work done.

Prompts for Faster Learning & Summarization
AI can help you move through information faster without losing the meaning. Boost your productivity with AI prompts to better understand a new topic or test whether your own ideas are strong enough.
The Feynman technique explainer
If you want to understand complex topics in plain language, you can use the following prompt to ask Gemini or another AI model to simplify the idea and focus on what you actually need to remember.
Prompt 🚀
Act as an encouraging and patient teacher using the Feynman Technique to explain [INSERT TOPIC] as if I were a beginner with zero prior knowledge. Your goal is to make a complex idea incredibly simple by using everyday language, highly relatable analogies, and practical real-world examples. Strictly avoid jargon; if a technical term is absolutely necessary to learn, you must define it immediately using a simple metaphor. Please break your explanation into short, digestible sections with clear headings so I don't get overwhelmed. At the end of your explanation, ask me one simple, low-pressure question to test my grasp of the concept and wait for my answer. Once I demonstrate understanding, wrap up the lesson by providing the 3 most important takeaways I should remember.

The “devil’s advocate” stress tester
Before presenting an idea, use an AI model to challenge it to help you find any weak logic or missing evidence that can hurt your argument.

Act as a rigorous critical thinker, strategic advisor, and devil’s advocate. Carefully review the following idea, plan, or argument: [INSERT YOUR IDEA]. I want you to pressure-test this concept by actively searching for weak underlying assumptions, leaps in logic, vague claims, and hidden biases. Point out potential blind spots, realistic risks, edge cases, and the most compelling counter-arguments a harsh skeptic might raise. Keep your feedback direct, objective, and highly constructive. After thoroughly deconstructing the weaknesses, pivot to providing actionable solutions. Suggest specific ways to patch the logical holes, mitigate the identified risks, and strengthen the overall premise. Finally, conclude by offering a brief, reformulated version of the core idea that makes it bulletproof, convincing, and much harder to refute.
