Build a 5-minute daily decision-making habit using AI to sharpen your thinking and take action

What you'll learn:
  • Use a four-step framework to make everyday professional decisions more systematically
  • Use AI as a thinking partner without outsourcing their judgment or decision-making
  • Turn vague problems into clearly defined decisions with specific options and desired outcomes
  • Create structured AI prompts that uncover options, risks, tradeoffs, and consequences
  • Pressure test decisions by identifying failure scenarios and overlooked risks
  • Apply second-order thinking by examining what is likely to happen after the immediate outcome
  • Recognize when additional analysis is valuable and when it has become counterproductive overthinking
  • Apply structured decision-making to career, workplace, money, and time decisions
  • Move from clarity to action rather than repeatedly reopening decisions
  • Build a five-minute daily decision habit through repetition and a seven-day decision sprint

Every day, you make dozens of decisions that affect your career, money, time, relationships, and future.

The problem isn’t that you aren’t smart enough to make good decisions.

The problem is that most of us have never developed a repeatable system for making them.

And now AI has created a completely new challenge.

You can ask ChatGPT or another AI tool what to do about almost anything. That may feel efficient, but if you simply outsource your decisions to AI, you risk weakening the very thinking skills you need to succeed.

The alternative isn’t to ignore AI.

It’s to learn how to use AI to make your own thinking better.

In AI-Powered Decision Making: Think Faster, Smarter & With Confidence, you’ll build a simple daily habit for approaching real decisions in a more structured way.

You’ll learn a practical four-step process:

Define the decision.
Use AI to structure your thinking.
Pressure test your options.
Decide and act.

You’ll see how the system applies to specific situations such as evaluating a job offer, deciding whether to take on additional responsibilities, dealing with an unrealistic deadline, evaluating a significant purchase, managing an underperforming employee, or deciding whether an opportunity is worth pursuing.

You’ll also learn how to look beyond the immediate result of a decision and consider second-order consequences: what happens next, and what happens after that?

Most importantly, you’ll turn better decision-making into a daily positive habit.

The goal isn’t to have AI think for you.

The goal is to train yourself to think more clearly, consistently, and strategically—with every useful tool available to you.

Five minutes.

One real decision.

Every day.
