The One Question That Works
Ask yourself:
What is one task I do every week that I do not need to personally think about anymore?

Not the most important.
The most repetitive.
Why This Works
Replacing one repetitive task does three things immediately:
It proves AI can be trusted
It creates visible time savings
It builds confidence to go further

The Takeaway
Do not try to automate your job.
Replace one small, repeatable task and let the result earn the next step.
