- ✓Building a weekly AI practice routine that sticks
- ✓Identifying your AI learning path: power user vs. technical track
- ✓Resources for continued learning and community
Key Ideas
Apply your learning to a real problem. Choose something small and achievable: automating a weekly report, creating a content series, or building a personal knowledge base. Start simple and iterate.
Examples:
- • Automate: Use AI to summarize weekly news in your industry
- • Create: Generate a month of social media content ideas
- • Organize: Build an AI-assisted research system for your field
- • Learn: Create a personalized learning plan for a new skill
AI fluency comes from regular practice, not one-time learning. Commit to 15-30 minutes weekly: try one new tool, refine a prompt, or solve a real problem. Track what works.
Examples:
- • Weekly: Try one new AI tool or feature
- • Daily: Use AI for at least one task
- • Monthly: Review and refine your most-used prompts
- • Ongoing: Follow AI newsletters and communities
Decide your direction: Stay a power user (advanced no-code AI use) or explore technical skills (APIs, automation, custom models). Both are valuable; choose based on your goals and interests.
Examples:
- • Power User Path: Advanced prompting, workflow automation, specialized tools
- • Technical Path: APIs, Python basics, building custom AI applications
- • Hybrid Path: Mix both based on specific needs and projects

I want to design a mini-project to practice my AI skills. My area of interest is [your field/hobby]. Suggest 3 project ideas that are achievable in 2 weeks, use free AI tools, and provide real value. For each, outline: (1) the goal, (2) tools needed, (3) steps to complete, (4) how to measure success.
Help me design a weekly AI practice routine that takes 15-30 minutes per week. Include: (1) specific activities, (2) how to track progress, (3) resources to follow, (4) a review schedule. Make it realistic and sustainable.
Create a template for me to track my AI learning. Include sections for: prompts that worked well, tools I've tried, projects completed, challenges faced, and things to explore next. Format it as a simple document I can update weekly.
