Turn your meeting notes into action items
This is the part that actually builds the habit. Pick a real meeting from this week — it does not have to be long. Five messy bullet points is enough.

01
Gather your raw material
Open a recent meeting notes file. Keep it rough — the point is to give the AI something to work with, not to clean it up first.
02
Use the four-part prompt template
Copy the template from Lesson 1 · slide 6. Fill in your role, task/format, an example style, and paste your notes at the end.
03
Run the output through the checklist
Open Lesson 1 · slide 8. Check each item before you do anything with the result.
04
Iterate
If the output is close but not done, send a follow-up: "Move the Friday deadline to the top, add the owner to item 3, and remove the marketing bullet." Iteration is normal — it is not failure.
You can paste them into Slack, your project tracker, or forward them to whoever is doing the work.
