When asking AI for Help with a Task:
1) Tell the AI to act as a Lawyer, Designer, etc.
2) Give examples of what great data looks like
3) Give clear instructions for what you want (certain types of analysis, research, etc.)
4) Request a format (bulleted, short, long format, summarized, etc.)

Investing Time & Money -
When I’m trying to decide whether to invest my time and/or money in something, I ask myself these 3 questions:
Does this align with my key life goals?
Does this improve my life?
Does this help other people I care about?
If there’s a YES, then it might be worth doing.

I love writer Austin Kleon's reminder to us in his "Steal Like An Artist" audiobook trilogy:
Your attention is one of the most valuable possessions you own, and this is why so many people and companies try to steal it from you every day.

Pay attention to “what you pay attention to”.
