Lesson 87 · 3 min
Learn a new skill in 15 minutes a day
A short daily session with AI as your coach, built around practice and feedback, adds up faster than one long weekend course.
Big goals like "learn Excel" or "get better at public speaking" stall because they have no next step. Ask AI to turn the goal into a 30 day plan of 15 minute sessions, each with one small skill and one exercise.
Tell it where you are starting. "I can type numbers into Excel but have never written a formula." A good starting point keeps the plan from being too easy or too hard.
Spend most of the 15 minutes doing, with only a little reading. Each day, ask for a short exercise, try it yourself, then paste your attempt and ask for feedback. Practice plus feedback is how skills grow.
Keep a one line log: what you did, what was hard. Every week, paste the log and ask the AI to adjust the plan. Missing a day is fine; starting again the next day is the whole trick.
