Stop Playing Around and Start Making AI Work FOR You

If you're still on the fence about AI tools, or you've tried them and felt frustrated, this episode is for you. We're talking about how to actually use these tools to make your life easier—not add another complicated task to your already overwhelming day.

What We Talk About

  • The three non-negotiable rules for using AI tools effectively (and why thinking of AI as your employee changes everything)
  • How I went from trial-and-error with multiple AI scribes to finding one that actually works for my complex primary care visits
  • The letter-writing hack that saves me hours of Googling templates
  • Why I let AI write my show notes, emails, and blog posts (and why that's not cheating—it's smart)
  • How to create your own AI coach that asks you the right questions when you're stuck
  • Real examples: from risk management letters to policy manuals to patient handouts

The Three Rules That Change Everything

Rule #1: Give Clear Instructions Just like with human employees, vague directions get you garbage results. Be specific about what you want and how you want it delivered.

Rule #2: Practice Before Going Live Don't push record on that AI scribe without knowing how it works. Test everything first—you'll save yourself from recreating notes from scratch.

Rule #3: Remember You're the Boss This technology exists to serve you, not the other way around. If it's creating more work instead of less, you need to retrain it or find a better tool.

Your Homework

Pick ONE area where you're spending time on tasks that don't require your medical expertise. Could AI help you write that insurance authorization letter? Create patient handouts? Draft professional correspondence?

Start there. Give it clear instructions. See what happens.

The Bottom Line

AI tools are here to stay, and they can genuinely make your life easier—but only if you approach them with the right mindset. You deserve help that actually helps. You deserve tools that work for you, not against you.

Remember: You're not being lazy by using these tools. You're being strategic about where you spend your precious time and energy.
