7 steps

1. Remove names, personal details and confidential information from anything you plan to share.
2. Write a prompt that includes context, a task, a format and constraints.
3. Read the first response carefully and note what's missing or wrong.
4. Ask for at least two improvements, such as "shorter", "more formal" or "add the deadline".
5. Check three facts, numbers or claims against a reliable source.
6. Edit the final version in your own words so it sounds like you.
7. Note how long the task took and what you'd do differently next time.
