Claude at your work: one entrepreneur, six initiatives, one day

An independent entrepreneur with half a dozen companies and initiatives under him, and so a lot of email, follow-up, administration and document work. An experienced ChatGPT user who had installed Claude but hardly used it. The question: teach me in one day how Claude works, how to use it well and how to apply it in my daily work, so that I can carry on by myself afterwards.

One day, one participant, so the whole day on his own tasks. In the morning the basics set up properly: the settings, and the building blocks of Claude understood one by one and used straight away, from custom instructions and projects to connections with his email and files, skills and scheduled tasks, each with a demo and a short exercise. In the afternoon pure practice: one real task from his week chosen, explored in an interview, and from that a working set-up built with his own skills and plugins, tested on real material and adjusted, and then the same for a second task. Closed with token maximisation: getting as much done with as few tokens as possible, and a one-month plan to carry on alone.

A participant who barely used Claude in the morning and had a configured working environment by the evening: settings, instructions, connections and his own skills for his own tasks, plus a plan for the next month. The feedback after the day was decidedly positive.
