It's 2:28 on a Friday and I'm driving to the golf course.

If you'd asked me Tuesday whether I could take half a day off this week, I would have laughed.

Heavy week.

Deep in financials across both companies. Parallel AI implementation work at Haven and Tendwell. The kind of week where you just grind through.

But by this afternoon I had two things left. This newsletter + a massive financial reconciliation project across multiple pieces of software with hundreds of line items.

This specific edition of the newsletter was “written” by me yapping into Wisper Flow while I drive to the golf course. (Link to Wisper.)

Just talking for a few minutes.

Then I grabbed the transcript and let Claude clean it up a little. I have reorganized for the newsletter but the whole process was faster this week than usual. (And I got to play golf.)

The point of today's newsletter: the reconciliation project is getting done right now while I drive.

Here's what happened. I opened Claude on my phone, gave it the links to the sheets and software, told it exactly what I wanted, and walked away. As I'm talking into this newsletter from my truck, Claude is sitting at my laptop at home pulling numbers, arranging them, flagging splits that are off. The new Dispatch feature in Claude Cowork lets me check progress from my phone and text it back and forth as it works.

This feature came out around a week ago and its wild what it can do.

I've been running a challenge for myself the past few weeks.

One day per week, I don't complete any tasks myself.

I can still take meetings and calls, but every actual deliverable/working task gets delegated to AI. If I hit something AI can't do, I spend a little time making it to where it can. (Usually, just ask it.)

And honestly, 90% of what I personally need to accomplish on my computer could be handled by Claude.

Delegation is the hardest skill for most entrepreneurs to learn.

In the age of AI it's the most important skill to learn. The mindset shift isn't "how do I do this faster." It's "how do I become the person who manages the work instead of doing the work."

Eventually most knowledge roles will shift toward managing agents. That's a good thing. The productivity output is dramatically higher. Everything we do at Haven with AI comes back to one idea:

Increasing hospitality output.

Not replacing people. Making the whole operation produce more.

I'll link my free Notion course below on setting up Claude Cowork. New features like Dispatch have already dropped since I made it, but it'll get you started. If you have questions, just reply to this email.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a tee time.
