One of the biggest productivity improvements I've found in the last couple of months is talking instead of typing. I started using an AI dictation tool and its genuinely life changing. The core idea behind it is that you speak much faster than you type. Therefore speaking instead of typing saves a ton of time. The speed is the obvious win. But the bigger one is friction. Tasks I used to put off — long emails, updating a site diary, writing out a proper prompt — are cognitively easier now because I can just talk instead of type. That last point is the real construction use case. The problem with prompting AI is you never give it enough context. Speaking fixes that. I can brain-dump a full day on site — weather, client directions, RFIs — and Claude structures it straight into my Air Table site diary. No manual entry. It feels weird mumbling into your computer at first. Get over that and I'm certain it'll save you time. Here is a link to try wispr flow (I get 1 month free for every member - so conflict of interest haha): https://wisprflow.ai/r?TIMOTHY3111 But also, it doesnt matter which dictation tool you use, Wispr flow was the first one I tried and I love it.

Hey Everybody A knew month so I thought I’d start a new welcome thread. Please comment and introduce yourself. Let me know what you are trying to achieve and if you have any questions about the resources. If you click on the “Classroom” tab you’ll get access to all the resources. My goal in June is to keep growing my consulting business and focus on re-building my construction project management course. The original is around 9 hours, but the new one I want to be around 30 hours and cover a few more important topics like software, AI and personal skills. Let me know if you have any questions!
