This is the easiest way for a busy person wanting to learn AI in as little time as possible:

Start with a clock, not a mood
Small rules beat big ambition
Decide once, run it all day
Win Monday, tilt the week

One Decision Daily
Example: By 8:30 am, choose the single outcome that makes today a win. Write it at the top of your notes and star it.
No-Inbox Morning
Example: From 9:00 to 11:00, no email, chat, or social. Phone in another room, browser in one-tab mode.
90-Minute Sprint
Example: 9:05 to 10:35, work only on the starred outcome. If you context switch twice, relocate within 2 minutes.
2-Slot Calendar
Example: Block one 90-minute maker slot before noon and one 45-minute admin slot at 3:00 pm. Decline anything that conflicts.
Fixed Shutdown
Example: At 6:00 pm, run a 20-minute review and a 10-minute plan. Laptop off at 6:30, no reopen.
Enforcement: If you break No-Inbox once, you lose all new tasks after 4:00 pm for today, nonnegotiable 7 Steps to Change Your Life

8:20 am, write the one outcome and the 3 proof checkpoints you will hit by 6:30 pm.
9:00 am, start a 90-minute timer, full screen the work file, set Do Not Disturb for 120 minutes.
11:00 am, process inbox to zero in one 25-minute pass, then quit email.
3:00 pm, run the 45-minute admin slot, invoices and scheduling only, stop at 3:45.
6:10 pm, list tomorrow's first task and start time on a sticky, place it on the keyboard.

Repair Rule: If you miss a rule, repair within 15 minutes by doing a 5-minute micro step on the starred outcome, then resume the schedule exactly where you are.

Cut the fluff, lock in the 90-minute sprint and guard it like rent.
