Every morning, before I open a single app, I talk to Claude—and it basically runs the first part of my day for me. In this video I break down the exact workflow: Claude checks my Todoist, helps me knock out tasks (including completing certain ones for me), and then spins up the creative output I need—like scripts and images—while I’m still in “morning brain” mode. The point isn’t to outsource my life. It’s to remove friction so I start the day with momentum instead of tabs, toggles, and decision fatigue. The big unlock here is using Skills plus MCP servers, which is what makes Claude feel less like a chatbox and more like an actual productivity system that can reach into the tools I already use. I walk through how I structure that conversation, what I ask for, and why doing this first thing changes the rest of my day. If you’re building an AI productivity stack, this is the kind of workflow that turns “AI is cool” into “AI is operational.”
