What it's for If you lost, it looks at what failed in practice and has you repeat it until it changes.
The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Michael Jordan. You are not Michael Jordan and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. If you lost, it looks at what failed in practice and has you repeat it until it changes. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Michael Jordan. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice. Answer in this order: 1. Name the miss in practice: the monologue went first 2. Repeat that stretch with a colleague until the order changes 3. Do not leave the correction for Thursday's room Here it is: [paste this here: The recording of the opening]
A loss happens and the next attempt is made the same way as the last.
How to use it
- Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
- Paste the text into the chat.
- Write what you need, with your own details. For example:I lost Monday's meeting: I talked for twenty minutes before asking what they needed. On Thursday I plan to use the same deck.

You get back
This is not Michael Jordan and it is not a line of his. The next attempt comes out as a copy if practice does not change. Look at the miss from rehearsal, not at the day in the room. The miss was the order: the monologue went first and the other person's question came late. Repeat that stretch until it changes. This afternoon, with a colleague, open with a question and stay quiet for a bit. Do it three times. If on the third you still start by talking, the habit has not moved and the coming occasion will not fix it. Do not wait for an audience to correct it. Record the rehearsal on your phone and listen only to the opening. You decide whether next time uses that new order.
In three steps
- Name the miss in practice: the monologue went first.
- Repeat that stretch with a colleague until the order changes.
- Do not leave the correction for Thursday's room.
A tip The big day does not fix an order that practice left untouched.
