QUICK WIN: SCHEDULE DAY ONE
Don’t let this roadmap become a someday. Open your calendar right now and put “AI — Week 1: set up and play” on a specific, real day this week — ideally tomorrow. Block fifteen minutes. That’s all Week 1 needs to begin.
A plan with a date is a commitment. A plan without one is a wish. You’ve read the whole book; you’re ready. Give the first step a day, and the other eighty-nine have somewhere to start.
