How to master Claude in just 5 days(and save yourself hours every week)

☀️ DAY 1: Train Claude about you

Goal: Make responses feel personalized from the start.

→ Choose your workspace mode (Chat, Code, or Teamwork)→ Enable Memory→ Add a short intro about your work in Preferences

Once you do this, Claude starts understanding your workflow and style.

☀️ DAY 2: Create your first workspace

Goal: Avoid typing the same instructions again and again.

→ Set up a project around a repeated task→ Add your custom instructions once→ Upload files, examples, or references

Now Claude already has your context before every conversation.

☀️ DAY 3: Set up a reusable Skill

Goal: Remove repetitive explanations forever.

→ Open Settings → Customize → Skills→ Tap "+" and define a task you do often→ Save it and let Claude auto-load it when needed

One setup. Reusable forever.

☀️ DAY 4: Link your everyday apps

Goal: Work faster without switching platforms.

→ Connect tools like Gmail, Drive, or Slack→ Let Claude access and work within those apps directly

No endless copy-pasting. No tab chaos.

☀️ DAY 5: Automate recurring work

Goal: Make Claude handle tasks on autopilot.

→ Create recurring workflows→ Schedule summaries, updates, or daily briefs→ Let Claude process and deliver automatically

At this point, it stops feeling like a https://t.co/Cf4Cgh1mbY becomes your operating system.

Five days of setup.Weeks of saved time after that.

Finish the full setup this week

Small setup.

Costco put a hard ceiling on how much money it's allowed to make on every item in the building. 14% on national brands, 15% on Kirkland. Bring in a product priced one point above that and a buyer kills it before it ever hits a shelf.

That sounds like a company leaving billions on the table. It is. And it's the most profitable decision in modern retail.

Run the bull case for marking up like everyone else. Walmart sits around 25%. Kroger and the traditional grocers run 25-50%. Price Costco's $249B in merchandise like a normal store and gross profit roughly doubles. Every spreadsheet says raise prices.

Here's what those spreadsheets miss. The product is the $65 card you buy before you're allowed through the door. Everything on the shelves exists to make that card feel worth renewing. Membership fees hit $4.8B last year, cost almost nothing to deliver, and throw off two-thirds of operating income. Renewal sits at 90%, the kind of retention most software companies never reach.

So Costco treats the 21% discount as customer acquisition spend. Every dollar it refuses to mark up makes the $65 renewal feel automatic. Cheaper shelves, stickier subscription.

Now read the chart as a spending report. The number next to each store shows how hard it can discount before the model breaks. Costco can sit at negative 21 because the membership line eats the loss. Walmart can't follow without a second revenue stream it doesn't have.

Walmart makes money when you buy. Costco makes money when you walk in. Whole Foods, at 40% above Walmart, has no membership fee underwriting its prices, so the margin has to come off the shelf.

The discount is the moat. The trade was never close.

I just had the craziest experience at the airport.

We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.

Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”

Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.

The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”

He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”

Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…

Start clapping.

I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.

All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.

It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.

@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.
