The 90-day series
90 Days of AI
One short tip a day, for 90 days. Each one is a practical AI move for the non-clinical side of physician life. Home, money, parenting, travel, and the under-the-hood prompts that make all of it run.
Every tip publishes first on Instagram as an 8-slide carousel, then lands here with a direct link back to the post. Skim the list, tap any day, save the ones you want to set up later.
Latest tip
The visual I could describe but couldn't draw.
I described a room I couldn't draw, and about four minutes later I had a picture to hand a contractor. Open an image generator (Gemini here; ChatGPT and Claude do it too), describe the space like you're briefing a person, then change one thing per round instead of starting over. It's a draft to hand a pro, not the thing that gets built. The block was never the idea, it was getting it out of your head so someone else could see it.

May 26, 2026 AI Technical InsightBecoming a prompt master: the skill that makes every AI tool better
Same AI, very different answers. The four parts of a good prompt, two frameworks worth knowing (BRIEF and COSTAR), and the one shortcut for days you don't have the bandwidth to write a long one.

May 27, 2026 AI Technical InsightSpeak the thought, let AI write the prompt
It's 9pm and you know exactly what you want, you just don't have the energy to type it out the right way. Wispr Flow or Gemini voice turns the spoken thought into the precise prompt, so the vague version never leaves your hands.

May 28, 2026 AI Technical InsightSix prompts worth saving
The six prompts I actually reuse, the ones that earn a spot in a note on your phone. Copy them, fill in the brackets, and stop rewriting the same request from scratch every time.

May 29, 2026 AI Technical InsightTurn the prompt you keep re-explaining into a skill
A saved prompt is text you paste. A skill is the step above it: you teach the tool once how you want something done, name it, and call it whenever you need it. The thing you re-explain every week becomes one word.

May 30, 2026 AI Technical InsightWhen your mind goes blank, have AI ask the questions
You sit down to finally think something through and nothing lines up. Not because there's nothing there, because there's too much. Ask the AI to interview you one question at a time, then have it organize what came out. The judgment stays yours.

May 31, 2026 AI Technical InsightDeep Research: point it at the question, then judge the answer
A big decision used to cost a Saturday of open tabs. Deep Research collapses the gathering into about forty minutes. What it doesn't collapse is the deciding, and that is the part you keep.

Jun 1, 2026 AI Technical InsightAI memory: stop reintroducing yourself every session
Old AI started every chat from zero, so you retyped your role, your tone, your context every time. Memory carries that forward across sessions. The skill is deciding what to keep, what to isolate, and what to delete.

Jun 2, 2026 AI Technical InsightWhere your AI chats actually go
A personal AI account is not an enterprise account. Where your words end up once you type them into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, and the one question that decides what is safe to provide.

Jun 3, 2026 AI Technical InsightOne door closed, three still open
Turning off AI training closes one door. The files you uploaded, the apps you connected, and how long your chats are kept are three more. Close the three you can reach.

Jun 6, 2026 AI Technical InsightWhat is NotebookLM?
A free Google tool that takes anything you want to learn (documents, links, YouTube, audio, your own notes) and turns it into the format you learn best from: a podcast, a video, a mind map, a study guide, flashcards, a quiz. Part 1 of 3.

Jun 7, 2026 AI Technical InsightListen to it. Watch it.
You will never read all of it, but you have a drive and a walk after dinner. NotebookLM turns your sources into a podcast two AI hosts talk through, or a short video built from your own documents. Now you actually get through it. Part 2 of 3.

Jun 8, 2026 AI Technical InsightMake it stick.
Listening and reading are passive. Two weeks later it is gone. NotebookLM generates a study guide, a flashcard deck, a quiz, and a mind map from the same sources. Pick the format that makes it land. Part 3 of 3.

Jun 9, 2026 AI Technical InsightStop being the integration layer.
Every time you copy something from one tool and paste it into another, you are the middleware. Native AI integrations let the tools talk to each other directly. Gmail, Calendar, Notion. You show up for the judgment, not the plumbing.

Jun 10, 2026 AI Technical Insight4 consumer AI platforms. Many models. Know the difference.
Fable 5 dropped this week. If that means nothing to you, this one is for you. When you open Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, you are talking to a model, not just an app, and they are not interchangeable. What each one is actually good at, so you stop picking the wrong one for the job.

Jun 11, 2026 Career & Wealth (Non-Clinical)Research before you commit.
The washer in one of my rentals died and I needed it replaced fast. A dozen tabs in, I still did not know which specs mattered. So I photographed the old unit and dropped it in. It caught what I would have missed: a single 120-volt plug almost nothing else uses. Twenty minutes, no wrong orders.

Jun 12, 2026 AI Technical InsightThe judgment stays yours.
The AMA spent the week drawing a line on AI in medicine: it can assist, but it does not replace a physician's judgment. The place I apply that hardest is not the hospital. It is at home, where no one reviews it, and where it is easiest to let an app decide for me instead.

Jun 13, 2026 AI Technical InsightYour morning brief, built for you.
I used to open my phone and lose twenty minutes to headlines that had nothing to do with my life. So I wrote one prompt and saved it. Every morning it gives me three things that actually touch my life, under 200 words, before the coffee is cold. You decide what counts.

Jun 14, 2026 The Efficient HomeA year of home upkeep, in one ask.
You find out what the house needs at 2am, when a detector starts chirping. Describe the place once (old, gas heat, gutters, a deck) and ask for a year of upkeep, month by month. The first draft is wrong in useful ways. Fix it, keep the rest. AI writes the calendar. Knowing the house is still on you.

Jun 15, 2026 Career & Wealth (Non-Clinical)Read the renewal before you sign it.
Home, auto, and umbrella renew every year, and I sign them without really reading them. This time I handed them to AI and asked in plain English: what am I covered for, what is unusual, what changed from last year. It explains the policy. Whether the coverage is right stays my call.

Day
28
Jun 16, 2026 Career & Wealth (Non-Clinical)The documents you sign without reading.
The contract, the lease, the policy at renewal. We sign the things that shape our lives without really reading them. The move: hand it to AI and ask it to help you understand the document in plain English, the risks, the unusual parts, and which professional to ask. The physician contract is the worked example.

Day
29
Jun 17, 2026 AI Technical InsightWhen AI is slower than doing it yourself.
Sometimes the prompt takes longer than the task. Before I open AI for something small, I run a five-second check: would I explain more than I'd just do, is it one-time or recurring, can I judge the result fast? Fail all three, I do it by hand.

Jun 18, 2026 Parenting & FamilyThe packing list that knows the trip.
You pack at 11pm after a shift, sure you forgot the one thing that ruins the morning. Instead of keeping a master list, I tell the AI the trip and it reads the dates, the forecast, and who is coming, then builds the list for that trip. Charleston in June and December pack nothing alike, and I did not have to remember either one.

Jun 19, 2026 Parenting & FamilyPlan the summer in one sitting.
School is out for my kids, and the whole summer was already a pile of loose threads in my head: camps that don't line up, half-planned trips, the weekends I'm on call. I dumped it all into the AI and asked it to lay the season out week by week, flag the collisions, and tell me what to book. It organized the summer, helped me plan the trips, and showed me the gaps in coverage before they became a problem. It laid out the weeks. I decided what the summer is for.

Jun 20, 2026 Career & Wealth (Non-Clinical)I'm leasing a car right now. Here's how AI runs the homework.
A lease hides four numbers a dealer keeps tangled: the selling price, the money factor (the interest rate in disguise), the residual, and the incentives. Instead of finding out at the desk, I had AI rank the real market by effective monthly, pull what people near me actually paid so I could compare, and name the fees that only show up at signing. It found the floor. I decide what the car is worth, and I walk in already knowing the answer.

Nine prompts, twenty minutes. Gmail connector pulls every unreplied email, starred-but-ignored thread, and upcoming meeting that needs prep. Step eight names the thing you've been avoiding. Step nine is a physician-specific anesthesia lit brief from the past seven days. All prompts are copyable.

Every form-fill is the same problem: the answers already exist, in a PDF, an insurance card, an old form. Open Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini in your browser, upload the blank form plus the documents that hold the answers, and paste one prompt: fill it field by field, write [MISSING] for anything it can't find. It returns a numbered list. You review every line, then sign. School enrollment, insurance claims, new patient intake, credentialing. Eight minutes instead of forty-five.

Jul 1, 2026 AI Technical InsightThe task I handed off and didn't pick back up.
Two days ago I handed a recurring task to Cowork with one instruction: run it to a finish line between sessions, don't check in step by step. The cost was never the task, it was holding it open in my head all week. Four steps: grant it one folder, give it one scoped prompt, set a schedule if it needs one, then one command shows you everything it touched before anything ships.

Jul 2, 2026 AI Technical InsightI almost gave every part of my life the same AI setup.
I almost set up every part of my life in AI the same way, and that was the mistake. Giving something context and letting it keep working without you watching are two different moves. The test: does this area have a real recurring queue of low-judgment work, or is every step something only I should steer? So every area gets a Project, the background loaded once, so I stop re-explaining which rental, which committee, which venture on every chat. Only the one with a real standing queue, my content pipeline, also runs unattended between sessions. The line was never how important an area is. It's whether the work inside it repeats and doesn't need my judgment every time.

The tool makes a plausible clip. It does not make a memory, and you still decide when a real one matters more.
