Train Your Tools to Filter for You

Because if AI can do your work, it can also guard your attention.

Focus isn’t just a personal habit. It’s a system-level design choice.

🧠 ONE Smart Idea

You already use AI to write faster, reply quicker, generate ideas.
But what if it could also guard your focus?

Most founders think:

“How can I use AI to create more?”

But few ask:

“How can I use AI to filter for me…so I don’t absorb the wrong inputs?

This is where attention automation starts.
You’re not outsourcing work.
You’re outsourcing distraction control.

📖 Story Spark

A founder I worked with was using ChatGPT for content, email, and research.

But every day he’d still lose 45+ minutes browsing newsletters, feeds, trending tools…

He wasn’t distracted. He was defaulting …to inputs.

We flipped the workflow:

  • AI summarized the top 5 insights from sources he picked

  • It filtered them through his brand tone and strategy

  • It highlighted only what passed his “founder filter”

Now?
He opens 1 inbox. Scans 5 bullets.
Makes faster decisions with no info fatigue.

That’s AI as a mental firewall.

⚙️ Tactical Application: The Attention Automation Framework

Here’s how to train your tools to protect your brain.

1. Choose Your Source Signals

Pick 3–5 trusted inputs (newsletters, Twitter accounts, blogs).

Prompt:

“Summarize the top 2 insights from each of these today that align with [your goal].
Ignore hype. Highlight strategic leverage.”

Save it as a reusable GPT or Claude thread.

2. Add a Personal Filter Layer

Prompt follow-up:

“Only include items that reflect my tone of voice: [calm, sovereign, strategic]
AND fit my values: [clarity > cleverness, timeless > trending]”

This stops synthetic overload before it starts.

3. Create a Decision Filter Output

Train AI to give you a TL;DR like this:

  • Insight 1: What it is

  • Insight 2: Why it matters

  • Action: Keep / Kill / Explore

  • My energy rating (1–5): ___

This is how you turn noise into focused, value-aligned action.

💸 Make Money With AI

Strategy: Sell themed digital planner packs using Canva + ChatGPT

Steps:

  1. Pick a niche audience: entrepreneurs, students, wedding planners, ADHD, etc.

  2. Use ChatGPT to brainstorm planner section ideas (goals, tracking, journaling)

  3. Build a cohesive 10–20 page layout in Canva using free templates

  4. Export as a PDF and list on Etsy, Payhip, or your website

  5. Bonus: Use AI to create custom prompts inside the planner (e.g. “What does a successful week look like?”)

High value, high margin, no shipping.
