How I get AI + my human assistant to do 50% of my work each day before I get out of bed: I use Todoist to track my daily to-dos. Each task inside Todoist gets a description that follows a simple formula: Why, Done, Access, Who Why = the purpose of the task Done = what does done look like Access = what tools are needed to complete the task Who = who is responsible for completion Every morning Codex looks at Todoist at all the tasks due that day. For any tasks where "Who" = Codex, it just completes the task. This could be drafting follow ups, writing an email broadcast, scheduling a UPS pickup, or any number of other things. For any task where "Who" = me or my assistant, Codex drafts a brief in the comments section of the task. The brief is designed to do as much of the task as Codex possibly can so that we can step in and finish it off. The brief may add additional context, an exact phone number to call, a specific person I personally need to reach out to and the details of our last interaction, etc. I highly recommend following the Why, Done, Access, Who context model for task management. It's kinda a pain to add all those details for simple tasks like "book haircut" but 30 seconds of additional effort on your part enables your AI (or your human) assistant to take entire tasks off your plate in one shot.
