  • Prep any meeting in five minutes by naming the decision it has to make
  • Turn a transcript into decisions, owners and deadlines you can verify

  • Run recurring meetings from one living doc that remembers what you decided
Audience

Who it's for

Your calendar is full and you still leave meetings unsure what was actually decidedTeams, Zoom or Meet already give you transcripts, and you never do anything with themYou run a recurring team meeting or 1:1s and repeat the same context every single week
The learning rhythm

Learn it once. Bring it back before it fades.

Each lesson arrives inside your daily brief. The widening gaps are intentional: you retrieve the idea again when remembering takes real effort.

Week 1
  1. Day 1

    No decision, no meeting

    “Tomorrow you have a 45-minute "Q4 planning sync". The invite has no agenda. What's the best five-minute prep?”

  2. Day 3

    Ask for decisions, not a summary

    “The AI's action list says: "María sends the revised budget by Friday." María says she never agreed to that. What do you do?”

  3. Day 5

    The follow-up people actually read

    “Which first line works best for the follow-up to a pilot decision meeting?”

Week 2
  1. Day 8

    Decide in the document, not in the room

    “You're proposing to move the team's reporting to a new tool. Leadership decides Thursday. What's the strongest prep?”

  2. Day 11

    One living doc per recurring meeting

    “Your weekly team sync keeps revisiting the same topics. Which setup fixes it with the least effort each week?”

Week 3
  1. Day 16 · spaced review, 5 days later

    Quick reps: the prep and the transcript

    “What's the right sequence, before and after the call?”

Week 4
  1. Day 23 · spaced review, 7 days later

    Quick reps: the follow-up and the memo

    “What do you send, and when?”

Week 5
  1. Day 30 · spaced review, 7 days later

    The capstone: run the whole play

    “What's the full play, from the first meeting to month three?”

How it arrives

Zero extra emails.

No new subscription, no drip sequence, no second inbox thread. The lesson rides inside the daily brief you already get.

Sharp in Five — your daily brief

Your lesson

One idea, one question, two minutes.

Learning science, made practical

Built for recall, not completion.

  1. 01

    One useful idea

    A small lesson keeps cognitive load low enough to think, not skim.

  2. 02

    A question, not a quiz

    Retrieving the idea strengthens recall more than reading it again.

  3. 03

    Return after a gap

    Increasing intervals bring the idea back just as it starts to fade.
