Hand AI the boring bits, from the inbox to the meal plan to the business you've been meaning to start. Start with the job, not the tool.
MBA · A career in health leadership · Hobart, Tasmania

The six questions I ask before I put anything into ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot. What to find out first, what never goes in, and what to check before it goes out.
Two versions: one for when you work inside an organisation, one for when you run your own business.
General information, not legal advice. Your organisation's policy always comes first.
What I write about
The boring bits worth handing over first: the inbox, meeting notes into minutes, the follow-up email, the meal plan.
Running a business, or wanting to start one, and which of its jobs AI can actually carry.
Why the thing that worked for three weeks stopped, and how to tell whether it was the tool, the missing context, or a job that should never have been automated.
What I check before anything goes out, sized for the ten minutes you actually have.
What's safe to put into it, and how to find out when nobody's written the rules down.
The things I've built for myself, including where they fell over. Some jobs aren't worth handing over at all, and I'll say so.
You weren't given a definition of good. That's not the same as being bad at it.
Where I stand
The admin was load-bearing. The shallow bits of the day are where your brain recovers between the hard parts, so some of the time AI hands back belongs to rest, not more work.
If the output was bland, it usually wasn't your wording. The context was missing, or the tool can't do that job. I'll help you tell which.
You're not. You were handed a tool and no instructions, which is a different problem.
About
My background is a career in health leadership. I've run a statewide service, sat on the buying side of professional development, and written policy in a regulated environment, where a wrong output has consequences. There's an MBA in there too.
These days I'm handing AI the dull jobs in my own life and work, from the inbox to the meal plan, and writing up what works and what doesn't. I build the things I teach, and I'll always show you where it fell over before I show you it working.
Work with me
Pick the one that fits. It opens an email to me with the subject already filled in, and I reply personally.
Practical sessions for teams and small businesses. We take one everyday job, set it up with AI properly, checking step included, and everyone leaves with it working.
Email me about a workshop →See the formatsConference sessions, keynotes and podcasts on everyday AI at work and at home: where to start, what to check, and what I'd leave alone.
Email me about speaking →For tools and companies whose product genuinely helps people get everyday jobs done with AI, at work or at home, and check what comes back.
Email me about a partnership →Guest posts, Substack collabs, joint sessions, or something I haven't thought of yet.
Email me an idea →For small business owners, sole traders and small teams who want AI doing real work in the business, without becoming technical to get there. We start with a call about what's happening in your business and where the work gets stuck. Then I tell you honestly where AI can help, where it needs more context first, and where it shouldn't go at all.
Not a fit if you need a website, social media, branding or bookkeeping.
There is no cost for the call. If AI isn't the right fix for what you describe, I'll say so.

Where the depth lives
Long reads on getting AI to do the boring bits at home and in the business, and where it fell over. Plus the restless part: changing direction without setting fire to your life.
