Teaching it how I write — once, permanently:

Read these three examples of my writing 
and don't write anything yet.

Example 1: [paste]
Example 2: [paste]
Example 3: [paste]

Tell me my tone in three words, what I 
do consistently that most writers don't, 
and words I never use.

Now write: [task]

If anything doesn't sound like me 
flag it before including it.

Turning call notes into proposals:

Turn these notes into a formatted proposal 
ready to paste into Word and send today.

Notes: [dump everything as-is]
Client: [name]
Price: [amount]

Executive summary, problem, solution, 
scope, timeline, next steps.
Formatted. Sounds human.

Building a permanent Skill for any repeated task:

I want to train you on this task so I 
never explain it again.

What goes in and what comes out: [describe]
What I always want: [your rules]
What I never want: [your rules]
Perfect output example: [show it]

Build me a complete Skill file ready 
to paste into Claude settings.

Turning rough notes into a client report:

Turn these notes into a client report 
I can send today.

Notes: [dump everything]
Client: [name]
Period: [month]

Executive summary, what we did, results 
as a table, what's next.
Formatted. Ready to paste into Word.

End of week reset:

Here's what happened this week: [paste notes]

What moved forward.
What stalled and why.
What I'm overcomplicating.
One thing to drop.
One thing to double down on.

None of these are complicated. All of them are things I use every single week without thinking about it.

Ive got a document of the best ones i use here if anyone wants to swipe it

here's everything going into this week: [just type it all - half finished stuff, things you've been putting off, deadlines, stuff you told people you'd do, anything that's been sitting there] what actually needs to happen vs what i just feel bad about not doing yet what am i avoiding and why do you think based on how i described it one thing that makes the rest easier if i do it monday three things to start with. nothing else. don't add stuff i didn't mention.

I've been running Claude like a business for six months. These are the only five things I actually set up that made a real difference.

stopped using every productivity app i had. been doing this on sunday nights instead for four months
