Join 📚 Felicity's Weekly Book Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Felicity's read, .
When awareness is insufficient, the other pattern I’ve found highly effective in low-authority scenarios is an approach I wrote about in *An Elegant Puzzle*, and call [model, document, and share](mailto:reader-forwarded-email/7b9afd52aed71a40540a6266556e6a5d/(/model-document-share/)):
1. Model the approach you want others to adopt. Make it easy for them to observe how you’ve changed the way you’re doing things.
2. Document the approach, the thinking behind it, and how to adopt it.
3. Share the document around. If people see you succeeding with the approach, then they’re likely to copy it from you.

**Your Action Steps**
It’s time to put these takeaways to the test.
1. **Choose your most common task**
Pick one writing task you do repeatedly (like team updates, client emails, or meeting summaries). This will be your testing ground for the results.
2. **Create your AI advantage**
Simply type: "You are a senior [your role] with 15+ years of experience. Help me create [specific task] that is [clear/professional/engaging]. Here's what I have so far: [your content]". Then follow up with additional direction or clarification.
3. **Measure your success**
At the end of the task, track the same metrics from the study to understand if you saved more than 37% of your time, completed higher quality work, and enjoyed the process.
