What has been sitting longest?
Look at the invoice you have not followed up on, the email you have not answered, or the spreadsheet you keep avoiding. Pick one. You already know which piece of work keeps coming back into your head.
Give AI a useful starting point.
For the invoice, ask for a follow-up draft. For the email, explain what you need to say. For the spreadsheet, ask what needs a closer look. Give it the material and context needed for that particular job.
Finish your part.
Read the draft, check the numbers, and decide what happens next. AI can help you get past the blank page or find a place to start. You still make the call and send the message. The aim is to move a real piece of work off your list, not collect another clever AI response.
