1
Audit your repetitive tasks
5 minutes
Write down every task you did today that felt repetitive. Email follow-ups, data entry, scheduling, report generation — anything where you felt like a robot could do it.
Star the 3 that took the most time. These are your automation candidates. Don't overthink it — trust your gut.
Pick the #1 time-drainer. Just one. We'll tackle it tomorrow.
2
Find your first AI tool
5 minutes
Go to ChatGPT or Claude. Free version is fine for this.
Type this prompt: "I run a [your industry] business and spend [X] hours/week on [your #1 time-drainer]. What AI tools or automations could handle this for me?"
Pick one tool from the response. Just one. Don't go down a rabbit hole. Bookmark it.
3
Run one test
5 minutes
Sign up for the tool you picked. Most have a free trial or free tier.
Run it on one real task. Not a sample. Not a test. A real thing you need to do today.
Note the time it took vs. how long it normally takes. Write it down. This is your first data point.
4
Decide: scale up or swap
5 minutes
Did it save you time? If yes — great, keep using it daily. If no — the tool was wrong, not AI. Try a different one from Day 2's list.
Estimate your weekly savings. If it saved 20 minutes today, that's ~1.5 hours/week. Multiply by your hourly rate. That's your ROI.
Decide what to automate next. You've proven the concept. Now look at your Day 1 list and pick the next task.
