You don't need to do everything. You need to start.

I define myself by the outcomes I deliver and manage my career like a portfolio, not a ladder.

I've redesigned at least one core workflow around AI — I use it daily for real work, not demos.

I ask AI sharp, well-scoped questions and always verify and synthesise its outputs myself.

My best work is visible — a portfolio, public projects or demos, not just a résumé.

I use AI systematically through repeatable loops and have automated some routine tasks.

I protect my attention, cut the noise, and think through second-order effects before deciding.

I use AI to generate options but rely on my own taste and originality to choose and differentiate.

I invest in trust, clear communication and helping the people around me get more from AI.

I'm comfortable and curious with new digital/AI tools and can tell credible from fake online.

I take ownership and solve problems without waiting for permission — I experiment and ship.
