One experiment I’ve been running is journaling every day. I basically dump everything I can recall I did or thought about during the day into a note. Tasks at work, meeting notes, conversations anything. I let Claude grab this at the end of every day and basically process any insights for me. I find the more open and varied my inputs are the more interesting results I get. I’ve primarily been doing this for content ideas but it’s helped with task management and given useful insights over multiple days with trends and things I’d like to follow through on. Plus I am getting the typical journaling benefits like better retention and presence in my days. Try it out.

If you think you aren’t ready for these contests I hope this changes your mind. Watch me find my way through this weeks competition while feeling like I don't fully understand. The truth is I think most people don't understand how much you can really brute force your way through something you don't know how to do with these tools. The specialized workflows and prompt optimizations are nice, but at then end of the day the "I don't know what I'm doing here" prompt has power as well. I downloaded this weeks brief and copied the post text into a Claude project. My first question for Claude was "based on the brief and competition rules, how do you interpret the shape of the deliverable?" Going to go argue a bit with it and see where it takes me
