Day 8/88: Why 15 Minutes Daily With AI Beats 3 Hours Monthly

88 Days of AI, Day 8

Mastery isn't luck. It's rhythm. While everyone else binges AI tutorials on weekends, you're building muscle memory daily.

The truth about getting good with AI? It's not about that weekend workshop or that 10-hour course you'll never finish. It's about small, daily reps.

Five minutes refining a prompt. Ten minutes teaching AI your writing style. Two minutes testing a new workflow. These tiny moves compound faster than you think.

The person who uses AI for fifteen minutes daily destroys the person who crams for three hours monthly. Why? Because AI thinking becomes automatic. You stop overthinking prompts. You instinctively know what works. Your brain develops patterns.

This is the AI Officer Mindset manifesting. You're not cramming for a test; you're training for performance. The leaders emerging aren't the ones who studied hardest. They're the ones who practiced most consistently.

It's like learning guitar. One song perfectly practiced daily beats attempting to nail that Billie Eilish riff once a month.
