Hacks: The Digital Declutter That Takes 20 Minutes a Day for One Week
Day 1: email. Day 2: subscriptions. Day 3: photos. By Sunday your digital life weighs half what it did.
You have 14,000 unread emails. You're paying for three streaming services you don't watch. Your phone's camera roll contains 6,200 photos, a third of which are accidental screenshots and blurry duplicates. The password to your bank is your dog's name plus the year you graduated,…
The Summer Setup: 12 Things to Hand Off to AI Before June
A practical checklist of the twelve tasks AI handles better than you do — so your summer starts clean.
It's May 28th. You're standing in the cereal aisle, vaguely aware that your kid's last day of school is Friday, and you haven't planned a single thing for summer. No camp deposit. No vacation budget. No answer to the question your nine-year-old has asked fourteen times this week:…
Hacks: The Notion MCP Server and the Twenty Minutes That Changed My Workflow
One MCP server. Twenty minutes to install. A workflow that went from 'I should organize this' to 'it's already organized.'
The workflow I had before the Notion MCP server was embarrassing in hindsight. Not complicated-embarrassing. Tedious-embarrassing. The kind of workflow you don't notice is broken until you see the alternative.
The Text Message That Runs Your Errands: AI You Can Reach Without Downloading Anything
Your best customer texted at 11pm. You answered at 7am. She bought it from someone else. Here's the $30/month fix.
It's 9:47pm on a Tuesday and a customer just texted your business number asking if you have the walnut cutting boards in stock. You're watching a show with your spouse. The phone buzzes. You pick it up because you can't not pick it up — this is your livelihood, and a customer who…
Hacks: The 3-Sentence Prompt That Turns Any AI Into Your Editor
Most people use AI to write from scratch. The higher-ROI move is using it to edit what you already wrote. One prompt pattern that works across Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini.
You wrote the thing. That was the hard part — supposedly. You sat down, pushed through the blank page, and now there are seven hundred words on the screen that didn't exist an hour ago. A blog post, maybe. A newsletter. A cover letter. A speech for your best friend's wedding.
Midlife, Meet AI: A No-BS Guide for Men Who Just Want Things to Work
You're not going to learn to code. You don't want to 'unlock your creative potential.' You want the tax thing done, the resume updated, and the vacation planned. Here's AI that does that.
You know about AI. You've known about it for three years. You've read the headlines, nodded along at dinner when someone mentioned ChatGPT, and once watched your twenty-three-year-old niece make it write a limerick about her cat. You thought: *that's neat*. Then you closed the ta…
The One-Person Business's First AI Week: A Day-by-Day Plan
You run a one-person business. You tried ChatGPT once and it wrote a robot email. Here's a five-day plan that takes under 45 minutes a day and actually changes how you work.
You opened ChatGPT three months ago, typed "write me a marketing email for my business," and the thing it produced sounded like it was written by a corporate chatbot having a nervous breakdown. Exclamation marks everywhere. Phrases like "unlock your potential" and "don't miss thi…
Hacks: Turn Any PDF Into a Study Guide With NotebookLM in Three Minutes
Google's NotebookLM can turn any textbook chapter, research paper, or legal document into flashcards and an audio overview. Most people don't know it exists.
You've got a 47-page PDF of case law summaries open in one tab, a final exam in nine days, and a growing suspicion that you've been highlighting the wrong things all semester. The PDF just sits there, dense and indifferent. You need a study guide. What you have is a wall of text.
In the Weeds: Running the Numbers on a Lemonade Stand (With AI Doing the Math)
A dog groomer, a freelance designer, and a bottle of shampoo walk into a spreadsheet. The unsexy, specific, Tuesday-afternoon math that tells a small business owner whether they're making money — and how AI does it in a conversation instead of a cell.
I know a woman who runs a dog-grooming business out of a converted garage. She's good at it — booked three weeks out, regulars who won't go anywhere else, a waiting list for new clients. She grosses about ninety thousand dollars a year and has no idea whether she's actually makin…
Hacks: The One Prompt That Makes AI Explain Anything Like You're Twelve
Twelve words that turn every AI interaction from a wall of jargon into something you actually understand. Works on taxes, medical results, legal documents, insurance — anything where the gap between expert language and human understanding is the problem.
A friend of mine — sharp, successful, runs a small logistics company — called me last week because he'd been reading about changes to the pass-through tax deduction and couldn't figure out whether they applied to him. He'd tried Googling. He'd tried the IRS website. He'd tried as…
