Free · New prompt every day

21 Days of SI.

Every prompt from the series, ready to copy.

Paste any prompt into Claude, swap the words in [square brackets], and hand the boring job over. Each day's prompt appears here when that day's video goes up.

Three rules before you start
  1. Connect one work folder to Claude, never your whole computer.
  2. Keep approvals on Manual for anything that sends, spends or deletes.
  3. End every job with "show me your plan first".

Week 1BasicsChat and folders, the way I started

Day 01Ask it vs give it a job
Look through every file in this folder. Tell me in plain English what's here, then suggest 3 jobs you could do with these files that would save me time. Don't change anything yet.
Day 02Your first real job in Chat
Here are my notes from a listing appointment: [paste dot points]. Write a warm, honest description for realestate.com.au, 150 words, for a young family buying their first home. No clichés like 'nestled' or 'boasting', and don't invent anything that isn't in my notes.
Day 03Make it sound like you
Here are 3 messages I've written to clients: [paste]. Describe my writing style in 5 bullet points: tone, sentence length, words I use, words I'd never use. Then rewrite this vendor update in my voice: [paste].
Day 04Projects: stop repeating yourself
I'm a real estate agent with eXp Realty in Adelaide's north-east. I sell family homes in suburbs like Redwood Park, Modbury and Golden Grove. Write in plain Australian English, warm but direct. Never invent prices, dates or facts; ask me if you don't know.
Day 05Don't give AI your whole computer
I've connected one folder called Claude Work. Only ever work inside this folder. Before any job, tell me which files you plan to read or change, and never delete anything.
Day 06Appraisal prep in 2 minutes
Read everything in this folder about [address]. Make me a one-page appraisal brief: the property, the 3 most comparable recent sales with prices and dates, what makes this home different, and 3 questions I should ask the owner. Only use what's in the files.
Day 07Receipts to a spreadsheet
Read every receipt in this folder. Make a spreadsheet with date, supplier, amount, GST and category. Put anything you're not sure about on a second tab called Check these, and tell me why.

Week 2ConnectHook it into your business

Day 08Connect your email and calendar
Look at my calendar for this week and my emails from the last 2 days. What do I need to prepare for, and which emails still need a reply?
Day 09The 6am morning debrief
Every weekday at 6am: review my emails from the last 24 hours and my calendar for today. Give me 1) urgent, 2) needs a reply, 3) leads, 4) today's appointments with what to prep. Keep it under 200 words.
Day 10Every enquiry gets a reply draft
Find every buyer or seller enquiry in my inbox from the last 3 days that I haven't replied to. Draft a reply to each one in my voice, answering what they actually asked. Save them as drafts. Do not send anything.
Day 11The Friday vendor update
Every Friday at 2pm: read this week's notes for [address] and draft my vendor update: inspections, what buyers said, interest level, and my recommendation for next week. Honest, warm, under 200 words. Save as a draft.
Day 12Your market update in 5 minutes
Find the latest published median house price, change over 12 months and days on market for [suburb], with the source and date for each. Then write me a 40-second market update script for local homeowners. Don't use any number you can't source.
Day 13One listing, a week of posts
Here's my new listing: [paste details]. Plan 7 days of Instagram posts about it, one per day, each with a different angle, a caption under 80 words and a hook as the first line. Don't invent features.
Day 14How to brief AI properly
I'm [who you are]. The job is [task]. It's for [audience]. Good looks like [example]. Avoid [things]. Give it to me as [format].

Week 3SystemFrom assistant to system

Day 15Skills: save a job once
Turn the instructions I gave you for listing descriptions into a reusable skill called Listing Description, so next time I just say 'listing description' and paste my notes.
Day 16The handbrake
Before you send, post or change anything that a client or the public will see, stop and show me exactly what it is. Never send anything on your own.
Day 17Make it check its own work
Go back over what you just wrote. Check every number, date and name against the source files. List anything you couldn't verify, and fix anything that's wrong.
Day 18Give it a brain
Read my notes in this folder before you answer. Using only what's in my notes, how would I handle a vendor who wants to list $100,000 above the evidence?
Day 19Texting my AI from the car
Text it like a colleague. 'Change the price on [address] to [range], then check the listing and tell me what else needs updating.'
Day 20My whole back office
Watchers notice things. Doers do the work. A gate checks anything before it reaches a client. Start with one of each.
Day 21Where I'd start tomorrow
Week 1: one job in Chat. Week 2: give it one folder to work in. Week 3: connect email and set the 6am debrief. Week 4: save your first skill.
Want it built for you?

Others teach SI. I run on it.

My whole real estate business runs on a system like this. If you want one built into yours, that's Backbone. Or follow along for a new episode every day.
