Meeting prep
A short brief before each call on who’s on it, what’s open, and what you promised.
You need this if…
- You join a call and spend the first five minutes catching up on your own project.
- Someone mentions what you promised last time and you don’t remember promising it.
- You’re searching your inbox for a name while the call is already ringing.
- 01What it reads
- Calendar
- Meeting transcripts
- Notes
- Contacts
- 02What you get
A half-page brief before each call: who’s on it, what’s still open, and what you said you’d do.
- 03What stays with you
It reads and briefs you. Nothing goes out to the people on the call.
- 04How you ask
“Prep me for my two o’clock.”
Try it today.
Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, then add your own material where it says so. Take out card numbers, passwords and anything private about other people first.
When it runs on its own.
Runs 30 minutes before each meeting on your calendar and puts the brief in your notes, next to the invite.
That’s what Second Nature is: this job and 9 to 11 more like it, set up on your own computer around how you work, with me.
