From 3-Hour Emails
to 15 Minutes.
Here’s how I stopped fighting AI and started using it — and why I packaged everything I learned into one simple document.
I was you. Overwhelmed, behind, and anxious about AI.
Two years ago, I was sitting at my desk staring at an email I’d been rewriting for 40 minutes. My to-do list had 47 items on it. I had a performance review coming up and no idea what to write. And every single week, there was a new article telling me I needed to “learn AI” or get left behind.
So I tried ChatGPT. I typed something like “write me a professional email” and got back a wall of generic, robotic text that I couldn’t use. I tried again. Same result. I closed the tab and went back to doing things the slow way.
I thought the problem was me. That I wasn’t smart enough to use it right. That AI was for developers and tech people, not someone in a regular office job just trying to get through the week.
I just didn’t know what to ask.”
Then I learned the real secret to getting useful AI responses.
It wasn’t until I stumbled across the idea of “prompt engineering” that everything clicked. The AI isn’t a search engine. You can’t just type a vague question and expect a great answer. You have to tell it exactly what you need, in exactly the right way.
So I started experimenting. I spent the next 6 months testing prompts for every task that was eating my week — emails, meeting notes, task prioritization, performance reviews, difficult conversations, interview prep. I tried hundreds of variations. Most were mediocre. Some were terrible. A handful were genuinely incredible.
I saved every prompt that worked. I documented the exact wording, the context, and the results. I tested each one at least 10 times before trusting it. I refined them based on what came back. Slowly, I built a small library of prompts that actually delivered.
My Mondays started to look different. Emails that used to take 45 minutes took 10. Meeting notes organized themselves. I stopped staring at blank screens.
I packaged the best 20 prompts into one simple document.
When I shared a few of these prompts with friends and colleagues, the reaction was always the same: “Wait, that actually works? Can you send me the rest?”
So I did. And the feedback was overwhelming. People who had given up on AI entirely were suddenly using it every day. Not because they’d taken a course or become technical. Because they finally had the right words to use.
That’s when I decided to build Prompt Starter. Not a course. Not a subscription. Not a complicated app. Just a clean, well-organized Word document with 20 tested prompts — each one with the exact text, a real example output, and clear instructions on when and how to use it.
No fluff. No theory. Just what works.
The principles behind every prompt.
This was built for people who feel exactly like I did.
