🤷♂️ this AI assistant is better than my BOSS (almost?)
The 5-Step Process I Use to Get Any Task Done With Claude
[3-min high value bombs] 🤓Whatup fam, Abe here from AI-nformation with the scoop on how I finally stopped pulling my hair out over every little task and started cranking through my to-do list like a BULL! 💪
We've all been there - those days where you're just dragging, struggling to focus and get even the simplest things done. For me, it was a constant battle between putting out fires at and keeping all my side hustles going…
I tried every productivity hack in the book:
Timeboxing ⌚
Fancy apps and tools 📱
Caffeine overloads ☕️☕️☕️
Nothing could save me from the black hole of low motivation and perpetual context-switching. Just when I thought I was doomed to live life in a perpetual state of "ugh"...🙂↔️ AND THEN-
I met one of my all-time favorite AI assistant who changed EVERYTHING. 😇 my dear CLAUDE, by Anthropic! (Not Claus🎅🏻). I’m truly impressed!
☔️It was late one rainy night in Seattle, and I could feel that dreaded mental fog creeping in as I struggled through a gaggle of random tasks. Email this, schedule that, draft a blog post, update a spreadsheet. I was D.O.N.E!😮💨 But,ENTER Claude! The AI assistant I'd been playing around with, and casually asked..."Hey Claude, can you give me a 5️⃣-step process to get all this random stuff done without wanting to pull my hair out?"
The response? A mind-blowing😱, pristine system for RAPIDLY processing any task without friction or mental drain.
Here’s my most effective 5-STEP master-prompting method (for FREE)
Capture and Categorize 📋 The first step is creating a "capture" doc (think moldboard) where you rapidfire brain-dump every task weighing you down. Separate them into categories like Admin, Writing, Misc, etc. (I love using Notion for this)
Refine Your Prompts 🧰 For each task, craft a finely tuned and customized prompt with role-play and examples. Include detailing the exact outcome or process you need Claude to handle. This is the key to coherent, efficient outputs.
Batch Your Requests ⏱️ Once you have prompts ready, batch them by task category and ask Claude to power through them in focused sprints. Avoid task-switching at all costs!
Refine and redline 📝 Use your fresh mental energy to quickly redline and refine Claude's outputs back to tip-top quality. You'd be amazed at how much easier edits are vs creating from scratch!
Wash, Rinse, Repeat 🔄 Constant iteration is the name of the game. After each task batch, re-prioritize your list, update prompts as needed, and keep the Claude simulator cranking!

See, the magic lies in realizing you're no longer DOING the actual work itself. You're now an expert manager and unblocker, tasked with structuring the environment so Claude can flow seamlessly
It's like your own personal AI employee, diligently handling tasks while you deploy your scarce mental energy on the highest leverage activities.🧞♂️
Once I made this mental shift, everything changed. In fact, just this week I was...
Prepping for a leadership meeting!
It was the night before our quarterly planning session. I had a massive pile of data reports, slide decks, and strategy docs I needed to plow through to get ready.
In the past, this meant an all-nighter full of mental slog and No-Doz. But thanks to Claude, it was a totally different experience:
I fired up my "Meeting Prep" prompt blueprint, dropped all the raw materials into a folder, and fed it to Claude (after removing any sensitive data) with clear instructions:
"Take these 8 documents related to our upcoming planning session. Review and extract the most critical data points, findings, proposed initiatives, etc. Then compile it all into a clean 10-12 slide presentation with detailed speaker notes."
A few hours later, I had a rockstar presentation with all the pieces consolidated and synthesized to perfection. All I had to do was apply a quick polish with my higher-level strategic lens. Crisis averted!
