You’re likely measuring the results of your individual AI use the wrong way. Counting prompts and hours won’t tell you if your performance is improving. You need to focus on how you are using AI—not how often. Here’s how to level up your AI skills.
Be ambitious in how you use AI. Don’t treat AI as a quick tool for simple tasks. Push for deeper interactions. Write more detailed prompts, go back and forth, and switch between tools when needed. Aim for complexity and sustained engagement, not one-off outputs.
Treat AI as a reasoning partner. Guide the model instead of accepting its first answer. Define roles, provide examples, and refine outputs iteratively. Ask it to test assumptions and explore alternatives. Progress comes from shaping the thinking over time.
Delegate complex tasks with clarity. Give AI multi-step work with clear objectives. Define constraints, success criteria, and output structure. The more specific and structured your direction, the more useful the result.
Use AI across your work. Apply AI beyond writing tasks. Use it for ideation, analysis, and problem solving. Switch between tools based on the task and build comfort through frequent, varied use.
