Three Telegram habits that make delegation stick

Most people message an AI like a search box. John works better when you message him like a colleague who owns outcomes.

1. Lead with the outcome

Weak: "Can you look at my email?"

Strong: "By 9am, summarize overnight mail and draft replies for anything tagged urgent. Hold sends until I say OK."

John plans steps from the outcome, not from vague intent.

2. One goal per thread

Mixing "fix the Acme proposal" and "book dentist" in the same chat pollutes context. Start a fresh message for a fresh goal. John keeps memory in your workspace, but a clean thread keeps today's work legible.

3. Name your approval bar

Say it once: "External sends need my OK." or "Book under two hours without asking."

After that, John knows when to report done versus when to pause for you.

Bonus: close the loop

When John reports back, reply with a one-line correction or "ship it." That feedback trains the next task faster than re-explaining your preferences from scratch.
