π§ Build your own Persistent Context (AKA Master Prompt) with my free guide: bit.ly/4uwGhJu
Most people give AI almost nothing to work with, then wonder why the answers feel generic.
In this video, I show you the system I use to fix that. I call it personal -knowledge- context management, or PCM.
It comes down to three layers of context: persistent, project, and perishable.
To show you the difference, I build a launch plan for my next book and add one layer at a time. You can watch the same prompt go from generic to genuinely useful.
By the end, you'll see how this stops being a technical trick and starts being a way of working. I call it personal context management, and it turns you into what I think of as a context architect.
