The “Notebook First” Rule for AI 📓✨
When my daughter wanted to build an app, we didn’t start with a prompt. We started with a pencil.
I had her draw the screens and map the “why” before touching any tech. Why? Because I want her to be the visionary, not just the button-pusher.
When the AI finally spit out a result, she could actually critique it because she had a plan. 💡
Do you jump straight to the tech, or do you start low-tech first?
