Start with I don’t know
Empty prompt space is resistance. It is unknown. It is potential mistake. It is over thinking. It is doubt. Resistance defogs with our momentum. When I wrote one sentence. When I act for 2 minutes. One tactic is to admit the don’t know. Go to Claude, “I’m working on _, show me an empty prompt…

Cost of best performance
I ran a PR: 5’00” in the last K of the 11K race. Just to be reminded the weakness in left hip is breaking the left knee. Overperformance is a cost for iteration. Achieving a better KPI with 80-hour week, lifting bigger weight with belt, saving more by zero entertainment. We add brute force to…

Board write in voice (Wispr Flow + Gemini Image)
To board write and explain is difficult. It requires deconstruction of the concept. It requires voice and writing to synchronize. It requires practices. AI tools gave us an opportunity to leapfrog, fully utilize separate tools to handle voice and visual. Create a pattern with micro processes. Here’s how.1> Open Gemini and select image.2> Express the…

Sunk cost of over-research
The more research time I invest, the harder it became to let go of the idea. Letting go would erase the time and effort I have spent. Therefore, Gear often matter very little in the making of a story, at least at the very start. This is often a sign that I’m stalling, while I…

Over-research
The story: I bought an Insta360 Ace Pro 2 and I fell for the marketing. It’s laughable because I work in the video industry as product marketing. It was a decision between DJI Action 5 Pro and Insta360 Ace Pro 2. The facts I over researched and end up persuaded myself: The quick thought on…

Collect prompt templates
Prompt library is extremely helpful only when I started collecting prompts. One way is to turn an occasional chat into a prompt template for the so I can duplicate when I need to. The prompt I use to create a prompt template:
