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.
