Traditional meditation aims to calm the nervous system, which may not be suitable when you need motivation and energy. For goals requiring drive and discipline, choose 'active' tools—like guided visualizations paired with cinematic music—that invigorate you and build momentum toward your objectives.

Pair a new desired mindset with an existing daily habit, like listening to an 'abundance' audio track while walking your dog. This uses classical conditioning (like Pavlov's dog) to train your brain to associate the everyday activity with the positive emotional state, making it automatic over time.

Since the brain builds future predictions from past experiences, you can architect your future self by intentionally creating new experiences today. By exposing yourself to new ideas and practicing new skills, you create the seeds for future automatic predictions and behaviors, giving you agency over who you become.

To get superior results from image generators like Midjourney, structure prompts around three core elements: the subject (what it is), the setting (where it is, including lighting), and the style. Defining style with technical photographic terms yields better outcomes than using simple adjectives.

Cues uses 'Visual Context Engineering' to let users communicate intent without complex text prompts. By using a 2D canvas for sketches, graphs, and spatial arrangements of objects, users can express relationships and structure visually, which the AI interprets for more precise outputs.

Go beyond using AI for research by codifying your North Star, OKRs, and strategic goals into a personalized AI agent. Before important meetings, use this agent as a 'thought partner' to pressure-test your ideas, check for alignment with your goals, and identify blind spots. This 10-minute exercise dramatically improves meeting focus and outcomes.

Large goals are paralyzing without a clear path. Instruct an AI to take your five-year vision and break it down into a logical sequence of yearly, quarterly, and weekly milestones. This ensures you do the right things in the right order, preventing wasted effort and making the goal approachable.

For marketing, resist the allure of all-in-one AI platforms. The best results currently come from a specialized stack of hyper-focused tools, each excelling at a single task like image generation or presentation creation. Combine their outputs for superior quality.

Leverage AI as an idea generator rather than a final execution tool. By prompting for multiple "vastly different" options—like hover effects—you can review a range of possibilities, select a promising direction, and then iterate, effectively using AI to explore your own taste.
