Catch a Mistake Before You Send

Step 1 of 5

Picking up where you left off

Now let's make sure each result is right.

Last time you set up a small routine. A routine is a job you do the same way each week.

A routine runs again and again. So one small mistake can show up in every result.

Today you build a short check. It is just 2 or 3 things you look at every time.

First, find the one part that must be right. Look hard at any date, time, or price.

A weekly noteis the day and time right?

A listingis the price right?

One rule keeps you safe. Do not trust this check alone for money, dates, or facts that cost you.

For those, look at a real source or ask a real person you trust.

ChatGPT can sound very sure and still be wrong. That is why we check. You stay in charge, not the routine.

Watch a short check catch a real mistake.

A quick, vague try

is this listing okay?

Add the who, what & how

A clear request

Here is a listing my routine made: "Comfy reading chair, 30 inches tall, pickup at the front desk." Run my short check. Is the price shown? Is the size shown? Is the pickup spot named? Go point by point. Tell me yes or no for each one.

What the AI sends back

Going point by point: 1) Is the price shown? No. There is no price in this listing. 2) Is the size shown? Yes, it says 30 inches tall. Please measure the chair yourself to be sure. 3) Is the pickup spot named? Yes, it says the front desk. One point is a clear no: the price is missing.

The check found the missing price right away. Each point got a plain yes or no. You can run a list like this in under a minute.

You did it

You made a check, and you ran it.

Find the one part that must be right. Then check 2 or 3 things every time.
Make each point a plain yes-or-no question. Never send a result with a no left in it.
For money, dates, or facts that cost you when wrong, look at a real source or ask a real person.
