This week's tip: How I Added 3 New AI Workflows to My Daily Work in 2 Weeks.
In a noisy business world, your focus is your best friend. It literally powers your entire workday.
In the last 2 weeks, I’ve added 3 new AI-driven workflows to my daily work by using a simple 7-step process.
Now I want to share the steps I took so you can replicate them.
Unfortunately, most professionals stumble around ChatGPT for months and can’t figure it out.
Why?
No process.
Here's how, step by step:
Step 1: Establish Consistency as a Habit
The first step to integrating AI into your workflow is to establish a habit.
You must consistently interact with AI to understand its capabilities and limitations.
Start with simple tasks you can delegate, like summarizing emails or drafting responses.
The key here is consistency; make AI part of your daily routine.
Step 2: Build an AI Prompting Routine
You can’t improve your work with AI if you’re not engaging with it.
Start with a daily goal to create or refine one prompt a day.
This interaction with AI will built familiarity and gradually increase your trust in AI.
The goal here is twofold:
become comfortable and efficient with AI prompts
make AI a natural part of your daily workflow.
Step 3: Learn a Prompting Framework
As you become comfortable with basic tasks, it’s essential to move beyond basic prompts. This involves understanding how different prompts can optimize your outcomes.
Spend time learning a prompting framework that can enhance your results and discover what works best for you.
Step 4: Discover Tasks to Delegate to AI
Once you’ve got a handle on what AI can do, start intentionally looking for tasks and workflows to incorporate AI at various stages.
The goal is to think deeply about how AI can add value and then methodically integrate it into your work.
Step 5: Optimize and Build Workflows
After laying the foundation, explore how to integrate AI more deeply into your daily tasks. This involved chaining tasks together to workflows that could streamline larger parts of your work.
Focus on one critical area at a time, developing step-by-step guides for AI to follow.
Step 6: Experiment with AI in New Areas
While it’s easy to stick to what works, experimentation is key to discovering new potential. Start applying AI to tasks and areas you hadn’t considered before, using a trial and error approach to find new use cases.
This step is about broadening the impact of AI on your work to uncover opportunities.
Step 7: Review and Adjust Your Workflows
As with any technology, AI is continually evolving. Regularly review the AI workflows you’ve implemented to ensure they remain efficient and effective.
Be prepared to adjust your strategies as new AI models and updates are released.
If you can get this system right, you’ll be able to delegate a chain of tasks to Generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT). And with ChatGPT driven workflows come massive opportunities:
- You have more options
- You have more leverage
- You become more valuable at work
