Try ThisMake a messy decision with a 60-second AI matrix
List your options and what matters, then: 'Build a weighted decision matrix, score each option, show the math, and name the risk of the top pick.'
- List options + your criteria.
- Ask for a weighted, scored matrix.
- Sanity-check the weights — the thinking is yours.
Don't Do ThisDon't retype your context every morning
Pasting the same background about your team, product and constraints into every new chat is the single biggest hidden time cost of using AI at work.
Instead: Write the context block once, save it somewhere you can reach in two keystrokes, and paste it at the top. Most tools now have a memory or custom-instructions setting that does it for you.
