π Saturday REPS Recap β May 2 | Claude.ai as Your Executive Assistant (Part 2) This week we went deep on how to build Claude into your actual workflow β not just as a tool you open when you need something, but as a system that runs in the background and remembers everything so you don't have to.
The biggest shift in mindset: an executive assistant isn't just there to do things for you. They're there to remember everything for you. That's the job you're giving Claude.
π οΈ The 3 Skills to Build First
1. Skill Creator β This is your starting point. Go to Customize β Skills β + β Browse Skills β Download Skill Creator. Skills are your standard operating procedures. Once built, you don't have to re-explain yourself every time. Claude already knows how you want things done.
2. Prompting Mastery β Once Skill Creator is installed, go to chat and type: "Let's create a skill for prompting. Help me research the best ways to prompt so I can have the best outcome." The difference between a weak prompt and a strong one is the difference between a generic answer and exactly what you need. A strong prompt has four parts: Context (who you are and what this is for), Task (what you want done), Format (how you want it delivered), and Constraints (what to avoid). Better prompts = better outputs. Every time.
3. Daily Habit Tracker + End of Day Protocol β This is your daily operating rhythm. In the morning, Claude pulls from your Google Calendar, your Notion to-do list, and your Fathom call recordings to give you a picture of what's on your plate. At the end of the day, you sit down and debrief β what you got done, what carried over, how you felt. Over time, this creates a running log of your work that you can reference, build on, and learn from. The goal: keep your mind as clear and empty as possible so you can receive more and execute better.
ποΈ Projects + Notion
We also walked through how to use Notion as your digital back office β a place to store everything from goals and action items to deal pipelines, session notes, and resources. You don't need to build it from scratch. There are hundreds of thousands of free and paid templates already out there. Search "Notion template for [whatever you need]" and start from there.
Think of Notion like a website for your back office. Claude connects to it and reads it β so instead of you manually updating Claude on what you've done, it already knows.
π§ The Framework: GPT Not the AI β the planning system.
- Goals β the big outcome you're working toward
- Projects β the initiatives that will get you there (things that can't be done in a day)
- Tasks β the specific actions you do today (things that can be done within an hour)
A goal might be two vacations this year. The project is researching and booking campsites. The task is making the reservation. When you can break everything down this cleanly, you stop drowning in a to-do list and start actually moving toward what matters.
π‘ Key Takeaways
- Skills are your SOPs. Build them as you need them β you don't have to do it all at once. It took minutes to build each one, not weeks.
- The three places Claude reads from: Google Calendar, Notion, and Fathom. If it's in one of those three, Claude can track it.
- Procrastination is a memory problem. When you're not clear on what to do next, your brain stalls. Clarity is the antidote β and a system that holds your information creates that clarity.
- Don't check your phone first thing in the morning. Your brain attaches to whatever it sees first. Set your intention before you open your inbox.
- You can use Claude across separate projects β health, wholesaling, coaching, finances β and it keeps each one in its own pocket. Nothing gets mixed up.
