I gave it jobs on a schedule instead of one off tasks

His AI runs four standing jobs: each evening it checks new job posts in his niche and emails him only the ones worth his time; his messy end of day notes come back as tasks with due dates in his to do app; receipts he forwards get logged into a spreadsheet by amount, date and category; and on Sundays it tells him what slipped and what he keeps avoiding.

How it works

  1. Evening job screener checks new posts in his niche and emails only the worthwhile ones
  2. End of day notes are turned into tasks with due dates in his to do app
  3. Forwarded receipts are logged to a spreadsheet by amount, date and category
  4. Sunday review reports what slipped and what he keeps avoiding

Why it’s worth knowing

The Sunday job is a review of him: it names the tasks he keeps avoiding, which is feedback, not just automation.
