Weekly Notes 2026.09
Another busy week, with a fun team dinner on Thursday to break it up! 🙂
Goal Progress
- Books: 2/18 📚
- Photos digitized: 5/500 🖼️
- Workouts: 3/7 💪
- GTD reviews: 5/7 daily, pending weekly
Work
- Throughout the week, I continued experimenting with ways Claude can assist with my day to day work. The biggest wins seem to be around daily briefings/summaries, and meeting prep. I have a set of prompts designed that I can execute in the morning, and Claude pulls from previous meeting notes and a screenshot of my calendar to prepare me for the day ahead. It’s far from perfect, but I’m seeing benefits.
- I also tried having Claude help me prepare a summary of product requirements, and an analysis of a few different component options. In both cases I was pleasantly surprised by the results, though I had to give a lot of direction to get my desired outcomes (unsurprisingly).
Personal
- Not much going on in my personal life; I need to work on rebalancing work and personal time in the evenings.
Notable
- On Thursday we had a team dinner at Black Band Distillery; tasty drinks, delicious food, and great company!
