Your take-home activity
Your Time-Back Receipt.
Make the starting point visible.
A simple record of what happens today and what you might test next. It helps you evaluate an idea without assuming that AI will save time.
Name the repetitive task.
What do you do again and again? Name a concrete task, who it serves, and which part of life it touches.
Record today’s baseline.
Note the time per task and how often it happens. Label the baseline “self-estimated” or “measured” so its certainty is clear.
Spot an AI opportunity.
Identify a step AI might help with, such as organizing notes or preparing a draft. Write down what you must still check yourself.
Choose a safe next step.
Pick a small, low-risk test and the evidence you would need to judge it. Include setup, review, and corrections in any future comparison.

From “help me plan”
to a brief you can check.
Illustrative workshop example. No actual participant or customer outcome is implied.
- Give the facts“The agenda is drafted. The room and date are unconfirmed.”
- Define the output“Create a short checklist of what must be confirmed before announcing the event.”
- Keep the boundary“Flag unknowns. Do not invent approvals or send anything.”
- Check the resultDoes the checklist keep the date provisional and identify who owns each decision?
