Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake
In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.
One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.
Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.
Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

10 Prompts To Boost Your Daily System As a Lone Wolf
1) One‑Day AI Planner (Revenue‑First)
Plan a realistic, revenue‑centered workday around your energy and constraints.
Prompt:
“You are my AI day planner. Ask up to 5 clarifying questions about [timezone], [hard stops], [energy peaks], [today’s top 3 outcomes], and [tools]. Then create a schedule from 08:00–[end] with:
• 2–3 deep‑work blocks (60–90 min)
• Batches for admin/comms
• Time‑boxed breaks and buffers
• ‘Must ship’ milestone by [time]
Output a Markdown table with start–end, task, success metric, and prep checklist. End with a 3‑bullet risk plan.”
2) Focus Sprint Designer
Turn one big task into a 90‑minute sprint with mini‑milestones and a ship point.
Prompt:
“Design a 90‑minute sprint for [task]. Include: goal, 3 milestones, materials checklist, 2 distraction guards, one ‘definition of done,’ and a 10‑minute review. Format as a simple checklist I can print. Add a motivating one‑liner for the sprint.”
3) Inbox → Action in 12 Minutes
Convert messages into decisions, drafts, and a send queue.
Prompt:
“Triage these items: [paste emails/DMs]. Categorize into: reply now, schedule, delegate/automate, ignore. For reply now, draft 3‑sentence responses in my tone: [warm/concise]. For schedule, propose a slot on [days/times]. Output a table with owner, next step, deadline.”
4) Meeting‑Zero Converter
Replace meetings with crisp async assets.
Prompt:
“For topic [X], produce an async kit: 90‑sec Loom script, decision brief (problem, options, recommended path, risks), and a comment rubric (approve/block/clarify). Add a fallback 15‑minute agenda if live is unavoidable. Keep total reading <3 minutes.”
5) Automation Radar (Zapier/Make/IFTTT)
Spot quick, high‑ROI automations from your routine.
Prompt:
“From this workflow: [steps/tools], find 5 automation ideas. For each: trigger, action, data fields, failure alert, and 30‑day ROI estimate using [hourly rate]. Prioritize by impact vs. effort (2×2). Output as a table plus one ‘do‑it‑today’ flow.”
6) Content Factory: Pillar → Splinters
Batch a week of content from one core asset.
Prompt:
“Take topic [pillar]. Plan one 800‑word article and split into: 3 LinkedIn posts, 2 emails, 5 short socials, and 1 lead magnet teaser. Include hooks, CTAs to [Lead Magnet URL], and a 2‑hour production schedule. Output calendar + copy drafts.”
7) Money Moves First
Schedule by revenue leverage, not noise.
Prompt:
“List my top 5 revenue levers for [business model]. Map today’s tasks to those levers. If a task isn’t tied to a lever, batch or drop it. Produce a day plan with one ‘needle‑mover’ shipped by [time]. Include a 3‑item Not Today list.”
8) Calendar Guardrails (Maker vs. Manager)
Redesign your week to protect deep work.
Prompt:
“Propose a weekly template: Maker blocks (Mon/Tue/Thu a.m.), Manager blocks (Tue/Thu p.m.), Admin batch (Fri a.m.), Recovery/admin buffer (Fri p.m.). Add rules: meeting windows only [times], 24‑hour notice, 15‑minute default. Output a sharable policy blurb + ICS notes.”
9) Shutdown Sequence
End‑of‑day wrap that reduces mental residue.
Prompt:
“Create a 12‑minute shutdown: capture wins, move open loops to tomorrow, set top 3, prep first task materials, and write a one‑line intention. Output a checklist and a 2‑sentence journal prompt. Remind me to close tabs and mute notifications.”
10) Weekly Review OS
Close the loop and reset priorities with data.
Prompt:
“Build a 30‑minute weekly review for [niche]. Sections: outcomes shipped, pipeline metrics, time audit (deep vs. shallow hours), lesson learned, next week’s big 3, and automation candidates. Output a one‑page template and a Monday kickoff plan.”

Conclusion
A strong solo routine is a system, not a mood. These prompts help you plan in blocks, batch the busywork, and automate handoffs—so deep work actually happens. Borrow the idea of longer cycles from sleep (≈90–120 minutes) to align effort with energy and protect focus. Swap in your [niche], [tools], and [schedule], then ship on repeat.
