01 / First steps
YOUR FIRST USEFUL STEPS
A little space to make it yours.
Nine printable pages: choose a task, write a useful request, improve an answer, spot invented details and save your own workflow.
- Exercises and answer guidance
- Space for handwritten notes
- A checklist and beginner glossary
02 / Clearer prompts
CLEARER PROMPTS + BETTER FOLLOW-UPS
Keep the facts. Improve the answer.
Practise with project notes, a deliberately flawed update and two transfer tasks. Use the brief worksheet and revision log to explain what you changed and why.
03 / Choose your tools
CHOOSE A TOOL AROUND THE TASK
A comparison you can come back to.
Try the same task, record the differences and decide whether an upgrade solves a problem you actually have.
- Side-by-side notes for two attempts
- Plan, cost and access checks
- A decision and a date to review it
CHOOSE A TOOL AROUND THE TASK
Try it. Compare it. Decide.
Use the same fictional task to compare actual attempts, record limits and make a free-or-paid decision. Your existing comparison workbook connects all three lessons.
04 / Everyday tasks
WRITING, LEARNING + PLANNING
Keep the method beside the task.
Turn one source into two useful updates, practise a concept and build a plan that keeps missing decisions visible. Keep the attempt, correction and evidence.
05 / Documents and research
DOCUMENTS, IMAGES + RESEARCH
Give your answer something to stand on.
Two versions of a fictional project brief, two interface mockups and an evidence worksheet. Practise finding support, spotting a change and saying what you cannot know yet.
06 / Browser and delegation
BROWSER HELP + DELEGATION
Ask clearly. Check what happened.
Five interactive action records, fictional workshop listings and a six-part delegation brief. Learn to review a draft, handle missing information and avoid repeating an uncertain action.
07 / Build a website
BRIEF, BUILD + HAND OVER
A small website you can make yours.
Use the fictional project brief, improve the working page template and download your own HTML file. Keep a record of changes and the checks you actually performed.
08 / Projects and workflows
PROJECTS + REUSABLE WORKFLOWS
Keep the work. Show what changed.
Choose a work update, study plan or small website. Record your brief, first attempt, checks and changed-input result, then download your project notes.
Session preparation
BRING ONE TASK / KEEP YOUR OWN CHECKS
Make it worth your time.
Choose a work or study example, define a useful result and keep unknowns visible. Eight prompts help you make your own task card; preparation tips cover online and in-person help.
Personal practice
A CLEAR UPDATE YOU CAN REPEAT
When the facts change,
your draft should too.
Turn fictional repair-job notes into a checked customer update. Spot promises the source does not support, then try a new snapshot with a changed approval and estimate.
Team practice
FROM MEETING NOTES TO CLEAR ACTIONS
One task. A method to share.
Turn fictional meeting notes into a checked action list, then try a second example with a changed deadline. Keep missing decisions visible and write a workflow you can reuse.
READ, TRY, CHECK
Keep these close.
The four-line brief
Describe the task, the reader, a useful result and what stays your decision.
