You know those days when you stare at your computer…
But everything feels like a drag…
So you end up watching YouTube?
Maybe it’s just me…
But this was me on Friday last week. (please don’t judge)
I was staring at my list of everything I needed to do..
And for a split second, had a thought of how nice it might be to have a job and have someone just tell me what to do 😂
Then I came to my senses… since I’m a terrible employee and I also really love what I do…
But for real, sometimes things can get OVERWHELMING.
Launches coming up, new app development, dogs who need to be fostered, teams that need to be managed… SO MANY THINGS.
So instead of stalling and watching another Shawn Ryan podcast…
I opened Claude and typed this.
“Here’s everything on my plate. Tell me what I should never be doing myself — and build me a plan to get it off my list for good.”
Wow. AI is scary good.
I’ve done this before, but the results this time were INSANE.
It didn’t just organize my list…
It told me exactly which tasks were costing me money every single time I did them myself.
It identified my biggest leaks and gaps, and the things that were draining my time and revenue that I kept putting off.
And then it built a phase-by-phase plan to eliminate it…
And then it started executing. 🤯
In two hours I crossed off things that had been sitting on my list for three months.
Here’s the exact prompt.
Copy it, make it yours, and try it right now:
“Act as a ruthless business efficiency consultant for a [type of business — ex: online health coach / hybrid trainer / nutrition coach]. Here is everything on my plate right now: [paste your list]. Tell me what I should stop doing myself immediately, and build me a step-by-step plan to get it done without me.”
The more honest you are about what’s actually on your list — the better it works.
Especially if you’ve been using AI for a bit, it’ll have more context about you and what you need.
And here’s what I love most about this:
It does NOT give you a generic framework…
It looks at YOUR specific situation and shows you YOUR biggest gaps.
A yoga studio owner gets a completely different answer than an online nutrition coach. Because their businesses are completely different.
It’s like having a business coach in your pocket who actually knows your business.
