Become a director, not just a doer āØ
Hereās your reminder for the week: You donāt have to do everything yourself, you just have to direct it. We hear a lot about ālearning promptsā or āmastering tools,ā but thatās still a Doerās mindset. A Director, on the other hand, starts with vision, not perfection. You donāt need to know the perfect prompt, workflow, or formula. You just need to know what you want, and then direct AI (or other tools) to help you get there. š„ How āDirector Over Doerā Looks in Action š” 1. Direct AI to build the prompt with you. Instead of guessing what to ask, say: āHereās my idea. Can you help me turn this into a strong prompt?ā Youāre no longer the Doer struggling to write perfect instructions ā youāre the Director guiding a creative assistant. š¬ Example: āI want to make a post about creative burnout but keep it positive. Help me build the prompt step-by-step.ā AI then becomes your writerās room, not your replacement. š” 2. Direct workflows, not just tasks. You can use AI to map the whole process, not just execute a single piece. āHelp me outline a system for repurposing my content every week.ā āDraft a to-do list and order these tasks by priority.ā Directors donāt just create one scene, they oversee the whole production. š” 3. Direct your mindset. Being a Director means asking bigger questions: āWhat do I actually want to say?ā āWho am I creating this for?ā āWhat would make this feel easy and joyful?ā When you direct with intention, the tools follow your energy, not the other way around. š” 4. Direct your life, not just your laptop. The āDirector Over Doerā mindset spills beyond work. - Instead of doing your calendar, ask AI to help plan your week by energy levels. - Instead of doing your grocery list, ask it to design a meal plan around your goals. - Instead of doing your journaling, ask AI to coach you through it with reflective prompts. - You become the creative lead of your own lifeās production. Where could you shift from Doer to Director this week?
