Note On AI Use: AI isn't meant to be a replacement for you. If you're simply copying and pasting outputs, you're not going to see the benefits. Instead, you need to view AI as a supplement that saves you energy via automation, amplifies your critical thinking as a brainstorm partner, etc. Use it to remove 80% of the tedious baseline work so you save 100% of your energy for the high ROI actions that move the needle.
