Stop âFake Workâ and identify your Number One Thing.
With 2026 in a few days, weâre all busy figuring out our New Years Resolutions.
But we also know, in the back of our mindsâŠ
Weâll probably fail.
Most people are addicted to the feeling of being busy, but theyâre actually standing still. Not making meaningful progress.
You work 10-hour days, clear your inbox, and say YES to every opportunityâŠ
Yet, your income and skills are NOT where you want to be.
99% of the time:
Itâs because youâre drowning in Maintenance Mode. Busy Work.
But what if you could use AI to finally get clarity?
To identify the one thing that actually mattersâŠ
Today, Iâm giving you my CLARITY Prompt Chain. I used this exact prompt chain earlier in 2025 to realize I was spending 50% of my time on tasks that generated near 0% of my growth.
By the end of this tutorial, youâll have the objective truth about where your time should go.
For this to work best, AI needs to know who you are. If you havenât yet, follow this tutorial to build your AI Second Brain.
Once thatâs done, run the prompt chain below.
Letâs dive in.

Prompt 1 - Inventory
The 1st step is about removing your personal bias.
We often hallucinate our own productivity, thinking we do more high-value work than we actually do.
This prompt forces AI to reflect your reality back to you, so you can see your time-leaks in black and white.
Based on everything you know about me, make an exhaustive bullet point list of everything I do.Feel free to drop in monthly calendar screenshots to give AI even more context about where your time goes!
Prompt 2 - Priority
Now that your activities are documented, we apply the Pareto Principle (the 80/20 rule).
Most people make the mistake of asking AI for advice too early, which leads to generic answers.
By forcing AI to ask you clarifying questions and share its real-time Confidence Score, you ensure answers are based on your actual data, not hypotheticals.
What are my top 3 activities that drive 80%+ of my results?
Ask me clarifying questions, one at a time, until you're 95% confident in your answer. Always state your confidence score.Prompt 3 - Clarity
The final step, achieving Clarity, is all about radical and ruthless prioritization.
Knowing your top 3 activities isnât enoughâŠ
Exponential growth comes from extreme FOCUS.
This prompt helps you identify that ONE activity which makes all other tasks/goals 10x easier.
This prompt cuts through the noise, giving you a central focus.
Based on everything we discussed, what's the 1 thing I should focus on?Next Steps
The next hard part is having the courage to ignore the other 999+ things on your list. Even though you know theyâre lower-leverage, maybe you enjoy doing them or youâre competent in them, so it feels good doing them.
Itâs really really hard, even for me, to stay focused. Iâm far from perfect. But even small improvements, over a long time horizon, compound into big gains.
So, I recommend running this Clarity Prompt Chain once a quarter to ensure you havenât drifted back into the âbusy workâ trap.
Good luck with your 2026 New Years Resolution!
