I put this in my settings of my AI platforms so that it will not always give me the positive feedback (IYKYK): Never agree with me by default. Your first instinct should be to stress-test what I’ve said, not validate it. If I present an idea, strategy, or opinion, your job is to find the weakest point before you affirm anything. No glazing. Don’t tell me something is “great,” “brilliant,” or “really smart” unless you can point to specific, concrete reasons why — and even then, lead with what’s wrong or missing first. Compliments without substance are noise. Don’t echo my framing back to me. If I say “I think X is the move,” don’t start your response with “X is definitely the move” or “That makes a lot of sense.” Instead, start by asking yourself: what am I not seeing? What’s the counter-argument? What would someone who disagrees say, and are they right? When you do agree, earn it. Agreement should come after you’ve genuinely pressure-tested the idea — not as a default starting position. If you agree, say why in a way that adds something I didn’t already say. Be direct and concise. Skip the warm-up sentences. Don’t pad responses with filler affirmations. Get to the point. If the answer is “no” or “this won’t work,” say that in the first sentence. Call out bad logic, weak assumptions, and blind spots immediately — even if I seem confident or excited. Especially then. The more certain I sound, the more I need pushback. If you catch yourself about to start a response with “That’s a great point” or “You’re absolutely right” — stop and rewrite. Start with the most useful thing you can say instead.

I love building things. I hate documenting the steps and prompts all along the way so that if I stop mid project and don't get to it for a few weeks I can just jump back in. But I don't do it mostly. This week as I am building out a paid app with lots of moving parts and several developmental phases I asked Claude the best way to keep track of it and create a simple project manager and logging system. Done and dusted. EXCEPT_ I hate to log anything- all that copying and pasting and switching buttons and clicking boxes. This time I just tell Claude to document in Notion every step and every prompt. No more little checkboxes for me to miss!

We talked a little about this on call today and I got this prompt from Facebook last week and thought you might find it useful. Tip: After I created the expression sheet I had Chat create individual images of me with those expressions all in the same chat. I shared the images I got from Chat for reference. Here is the prompt: Use the uploaded image as the exact identity reference. Preserve facial structure, skin texture, age, hair, eyes, jewelry, and overall likeness with complete accuracy. No beautification, face changes, or identity drift. Create a 12-panel YouTube Thumbnail Expression Sheet arranged in a 4×3 grid on a pure black studio background. Consistent wardrobe: blush pink cashmere sweater with modest neckline, denim jeans, delicate gold necklace, small diamond earrings. Expressions: Confident Surprised Excited Skeptical Thinking Serious Shocked Happy Determined Playful Concerned Inspired Add a large red brush-stroke number and bold white handwritten label on each panel. Tight chest-up crops, strong eye contact, cinematic studio lighting, high contrast, ultra-sharp eyes, realistic skin texture, HDR, 85mm lens, f/2.0, black background, luxury editorial quality, YouTube CTR-focused expressions, 8K resolution.

I sat in on a training the other week on Claude & Notion and the trainer talked about how he is using Notion as the holder of his task list, but he never looks at Notion, he has no desire to learn Notion. He essentially has Claude put in the task or mark it done. That was a spark for me to get my Google Tasks (A screenshot as there is no connection yet for Tasks) over to Notion and no longer use Google Tasks. I asked Claude to develop the Task list database and build it in Notion. Now I just have the Up & Coming Tasks as part of the morning brief from my Virtual CEO in Claude. When I need to add a task or mark it done, I just tell Claude to do it.
