If you only ever ask it to summarize things, you’re going to get a neat little paragraph… and still miss the part where you were supposed to actually think. Here’s the upgrade that’s helped me the most lately. Instead of “summarize this,” try one of these: - “What am I forgetting to consider?” - “What’s the risk or tradeoff I’m not seeing yet?” - “What questions should I be asking before I decide?” - “What would someone who disagrees with me say?” This works especially well in NotebookLM, because you can point it at your notes and sources and use it like a thinking partner, not a shortcut machine. Copy-paste starter prompt: I’m working on [the thing] and I have these notes and sources. 1. What are 5 questions I should answer before I move forward? 2. What assumptions am I making that might be wrong? 3. What is the simplest next step that would reduce uncertainty? Your turn: What’s one decision on your plate this week where you don’t need a summary, you need better questions? (If you want, drop the context and I’ll reply with 3 questions you can ask AI that won’t melt your brain.)

Try using prompts like these to get ideas flowing: 1. I'm writing an email on [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. Generate potential 10 subject lines. 2. (Paste content you already wrote). Suggest 10 possible follow-up topics for this article/post. 3. (Paste a podcast or video transcript). Based on this transcript, write 10 article headlines for [AUDIENCE]. Use [KEYWORD(s)].

We've started to build out a prompt library, with helpful prompts you can use in your business, or to help build your business. You'll find it in the classroom! Let us know what kind of prompts you'd like to see, and we'll keep adding to the library.

I would love to know how AI could assist me in increasing the visibility of my online shop lilyannedesign.com.

I've been working on a short course to help me, and that - of course - turned into something I can share. Based on Stephen Kotler's work with flow (Stephen is known for making flow science feel like something you can use in real life instead of a lab) it took me a while to get the course the way I wanted. It's a drip sequence of 35 emails, with tasks that take 5-10 minutes a day. I built an email drip sequence in MailerLite (free) Created a product in Stripe for the payment link that collects payment Built a 2-step n8n sequence that listens for that specific payment, then puts the email in a MailerLite group that kicks off the email sequence. (You could also use Zapier or Make.com for beginner-friendly automations) My ICP (ideal customer profile) for this course is me! AuDHD with chronic health conditions, and I have projects I need to get finished. Take a look here ... and I'm still working on perfecting the web copy. https://3bees.digital/find-your-flow/
