Adaptability and Resilience: We Are Not All Doomed

Do: Exercise

1) Think of something you do differently today than you used to. For example, it could be how you learn something new or how you do a household chore.

Write down:

  1. Specifically what you today
  2. How it differs from your previous approach
  3. What is better and worse about this new approach

2) Think of something you can change to make you ready for a rapidly changing future work environment, such as creating a daily learning habit.

Write down what you will change, and the very first step you will pursue today.

Control: Working Smarter vs Working Harder

Do Exercise:

Here are some suggested items for a work smart checklist: Reorganize and reword this checklist in a way that resonates with you and add other items you think you should check.

  • What can I stop doing?
  • What can I postpone doing?
  • What can I delegate to someone else?
  • How can I optimize existing activities to make room?
  • How can I optimize this new activity?
  • How will I communicate to others what has changed?

Prompt Engineering Made Easy

Do Exercise:

1) Ask AI a very broad question about a complex topic you are interested in and know something about – for example, “tell me about the history of the United States”

2) Using the steps described in this lesson, refine your question progressively. Note how the AI responses change as your prompts get more specific and structured.

I Understand Perfectly

Do Exercise:

1. If you have access to generative AI – ask it to generate a prompt that it would have difficulty understanding and responding to effectively.

2. Attempt to rewrite the prompt in a way you think AI would be able to answer more easily.

3. Ask AI to reword that prompt as well and compare your answers.
