From the last two episodes, you understand your AI's strengths and flaws, and you have the C.O.D.E. framework to write powerful prompts. Now for the most important strategic question: When do you use it? Applying AI to the wrong task can be inefficient at best, and professionally risky at worst.

This episode introduces the heart of the AI Mindset: the Three-Bucket System. This is a simple but powerful mental model for triaging your entire to-do list, ensuring you leverage AI with both maximum efficiency and professional wisdom.

In this episode, you will learn to distinguish between the three categories of work:

• AI Autopilot: The low-risk, factual tasks that you can safely delegate.

• AI Co-pilot: The creative and drafting sweet-spot where you partner with AI for an 80/20 split.

• Human Lead: The high-stakes, strategic, and sensitive tasks where you are firmly in the pilot's seat.

We'll walk through concrete office examples for each bucket, and this week's "Your Turn" challenge is a simple five-minute exercise to build this new mental muscle using your own to-do list. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear, confident framework for smart delegation, allowing you to save mental energy and focus your human brilliance where it matters most.
