Most people re-explain themselves to their AI every single morning.
What they're working on. What happened yesterday. Where they left off.
That's not AI leverage. That's AI tax.
Here's the prompt I run every evening — takes 60 seconds, saves 20 minutes of context-rebuilding next session:
---
The Prompt:
"I need to capture today in my AI's memory. Here's what I worked on:
[BRAIN DUMP: Write 3-5 sentences about your day — messy is fine]
From this, generate:
1. A one-line summary (max 15 words)
2. Key wins (max 3 bullet points)
3. Open loops / next steps (max 3 bullet points)
4. Any durable facts worth remembering (decisions, milestones, people)
Format it clean, ready to save to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md"

What this unlocks:
✅ Converts messy brain dump → structured memory entry
✅ Extracts what actually matters (decisions, next steps, durable facts)
✅ Next morning your AI already knows where you left off
✅ Takes 60 seconds — saves hours of cold-start context every week
Set a phone reminder at 6pm. Do it before you close your laptop. That 60-second habit compounds hard — after a month your AI knows your patterns better than you do.
