Lessons / Scratch

Your first real delegation

Take the real task you named in Lesson 1 and actually hand it off. The goal isn't a perfect result — it's the feeling of the AI doing the legwork while you stay put.

Pick whichever fits what you've got connected:

If it can reach your email:

Read my last 10 unread emails. Tell me which 3 actually need a reply from me, and for those 3, draft a short reply in my voice. Show me the drafts — don't send anything.

If it can see your calendar:

I'm meeting [name] at 2pm. Pull together what we know about them and give me 3 things worth bringing up. Keep it to half a page.

Type it in your own words and run it.

The thing to watch for

There are two possible outcomes, and the difference is the lesson:

• It gave you generic advice ("here's how to write a good reply…") → your prompt asked for advice. Reframe it as "do X for me" and run it again.
• It took an action — pulled your real emails, drafted actual replies, summarized real context → that's the magic moment. That's delegation.

If you got advice, that reframe from "how do I…" to "do this for me…" is the single most important habit on this whole site. Practice it until it's automatic.

You've got it when…

The AI produced something built from your real stuff — a draft, a summary, a shortlist — that you could act on immediately, not a generic explanation you still have to apply yourself.
