Sometimes the most valuable content comes from showing the messy, imperfect reality of how we actually work instead of the polished version we think we should present. In this raw episode, Dustin pulls back the curtain on his evolving AI-assisted weekly planning process with client PJ Towle from 43 Creative.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
• How to build comprehensive project knowledge in Claude AI that understands your business context, values, and working style• The exact step-by-step process for integrating Google Calendar, Asana tasks, weather forecasts, and inspirational content into one unified weekly preview• Why sometimes manual processes work better than "smart" integrations (and when to embrace the inefficiency)• Real-time problem-solving when AI gets confused about dates, locations, and calendar conflicts• How to transfer digital planning into distraction-free tools like Remarkable tablets for actual execution• The framework for turning scattered productivity tools into a cohesive system that actually gets used
This isn't a perfectly polished system demonstration - it's an honest look at innovation in progress, complete with the stumbles, corrections, and "aha!" moments that come with real experimentation.
