Jim Ebbelaar breaks down replying to an email into micro-steps: setting up your environment, opening the client, typing the first word. Name each tiny action and use AI to find where friction hides in your workflow.

So one of the things that you will be doing is a friction audit. Help me break it down into the smallest possible chunks. Help me with setting up the environment. Help me whatever your thing is. If it's open up the email, maybe break it down in opening your email client, typing the title, etc., etc. You can ask the AI and it's incredibly helpful to help you with this. So for example, step 1, put the package by the door. Open the email draft, type the first word in. But I also want you to focus on what actually comes up by doing it in this way where you take it down, break it into small steps, naming it.
