Pro Tip
Email triage is one of the highest-volume, lowest-value activities on an executive's calendar. The task is repetitive and structured: classify each email by required action, determine priority, and either respond briefly or delegate.
Action items:
- Copy the prompt or framework into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
- Test Using Claude 3.5 Haiku for Rapid Email Triage and Response Drafting on one live decision, document, or meeting artifact.
- Save the best version as a reusable team template.

Productivity Gem
Competitive monitoring has always required either a dedicated research function or 30-45 minutes of manual news scanning, bookmarking, and synthesis. Neither option is sustainable for most executive teams.
Action items:
- Choose one recurring workflow with a clear before and after.
- Run the ChatGPT Search Workflow: Daily Competitive Monitoring in 10 Minutes workflow once with real work, not sample data.
- Keep it only if it saves at least 30 minutes this week.
