Pick one task you'd love to automate. Write the 4-line charter: job, allowed inputs, never-do list, stop condition. You're done when the charter exists — whether or not you ever build the thing.

Automation charter — one job, limits, stop
Before automating anything with AI, write the charter: the job, the inputs it may touch, the limits, and the stop condition.
Worked example
Automation without a charter is an intern with no job description and your passwords. Four lines before anything runs: the job, what it may touch, what it must never do, and when it stops. If you can't write the charter, you're not ready to automate.
