This prompt template is technically for Google’s Gemini 3 model but I think that it is relevant for many other models.

Working as an ER charge nurse, I was in 24/7 survival mode. Burnout was my entire operating system...I just didn't know it.

If you read through Google’s Gemini API docs then you have probably already seen most of what will be in this post.  After thinking about it, most people don’t read through Gemini’s API docs and, I would guess that, a lot of people don’t even know what API docs are.

One of the biggest lies about AI? That everyone else already knows how to use it.

Looks like a pretty good deal if you qualify.  

Don’t show up for class without doing the reading….at least not my class anyway.  If you show up to a 1:1 call asking, “So… what do you do?”, you’ve already flunked.

Some of these may be hard to accept (or you may not accept them), but I’ve found that the faster I’ve accepted them, the faster I’ve been able to level up my skills with these tools.

Ever felt trapped by circumstances beyond your control? 

If you are past the stage of starting to use genAI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc., and you want to work towards getting outsized returns on your time, then this post is for you.
