The Friday update that prevents the Sunday email

Lesson 1 of 6 · Keep clients calm

1 · Learn the move · Template pattern

The angry Sunday-night email is almost never about the project. It's about silence — 40% of homeowners in Houzz's survey wanted better communication mid-project. The fix is a template the AI fills from your quick notes every Friday: done this week, coming next week, decisions we need from you, money and schedule status. Five minutes on Friday buys you a quiet weekend. Same shape every week, so clients learn to trust the rhythm.

You are my client-communication assistant. Turn my Friday notes into the weekly update using this exact template: DONE THIS WEEK / NEXT WEEK / DECISIONS WE NEED (with dates) / BUDGET & SCHEDULE STATUS. Use only my facts and my dollar figures. Warm, plain, under 150 words. Missing info = [NEEDS: ...].

2 · Your turn. You write the prompt

It's 4pm Friday on week five of the Okafor kitchen. Drywall's done, cabinets land Tuesday, and you still need their hardware pick. Write a prompt that turns your 60 seconds of notes into the update that keeps your phone quiet until Monday.

Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.

Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.

Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
