Start working with AI from the work you already have.
A free starter guide for professionals who want to move beyond AI noise and begin noticing where automation, AI assistance, and better workflows can actually help.
No hype. No tool-chasing. Just a practical place to begin.
The tools changed. The work didn't.
AI is everywhere, but most professionals are still stuck inside the same old work:
The problem is not that people are lazy or behind.
The problem is that most work was never designed for this moment.
What the guide helps you do
A short, practical companion to the series — not a technical manual.
Identify one messy workflow worth improving
Separate real AI opportunities from vague AI excitement
Map where human judgment still matters
Notice repeated steps that could become templates or systems
Choose one small starting point instead of trying to transform everything at once
This guide is part of the Working in the Meantime series — a companion path to my upcoming book, The Meantime.
The book is about learning to work with the AI we actually have: powerful, imperfect, useful, unpredictable, and already changing the shape of knowledge work.
The guide gives you a practical starting point.
