Force Yourself to Spend One Full Day Working Only Through AI
TJLarkin23 · x · 2026-10-04
A practical onboarding tip for AI: pick one day (or even 2-4 hours) where you're forbidden from doing any digital work yourself — everything must go through Claude or Codex. Explain your end goal first, ask the model how it would do the task, then have it design a reusable workflow so similar tasks get automated going forward. The author argues delegation is the real bottleneck, and that a few hours of forced delegation teaches you more about what's possible than a year of casual use — especially given how fast models have improved in the last 30 days.
