The Prompt Mistake That Keeps People Stuck
Most people think better prompting means longer prompts.
It doesn’t.
The biggest mistake I see is people asking AI to produce before it’s allowed to understand.
They jump straight to:
“Write this.”
“Create that.”
“Generate ideas.”
And then they’re disappointed when the output feels surface-level.
One shift changed everything for me:
I stopped treating AI like a vending machineand started treating it like a junior strategist.
Before I ask it to create anything, I’ll say things like:
- “What assumptions are you making here?”
- “What information would improve this output?”
- “What’s missing from this prompt?”
Sometimes I don’t even want an answer yet.
I want alignment.
That’s when AI starts feeling smart.
Good prompting isn’t about clever wording.
It’s about slowing down the front end so the back end gets easier.
Once I started doing this:
- I spent less time fixing outputs
- ideas stacked instead of resetting
- my thinking became reusable
And that’s the real win.
Prompts are powerful on their own…but they become unfair when they live inside a repeatable process.
