The three tasks.
Each takes 20–30 minutes. Open the PDF for the print version; the full text lives here too.
WEEK 1 · TASK 1
Draft Your AI Charter
Five lines. What AI is for. What it never replaces.
Captains build guardrails before they touch the throttle. Today is the smallest, hardest, most important task of Week 1: define what AI is for in your life — and what it is not for.
Action checklist
- Open Claude (primary) or your tool of choice.
- Write five lines: what is AI for in your life? What is it not for?
- Save it where you'll see it daily — pinned note, second-brain, fridge.
- Post one line of your charter in the bootcamp comments.
CAPTAIN'S NOTE
If you can't write the charter, you're not ready to use the tool. That's not a problem. That's the first lesson.
SCRIPTURE SIT
Habakkuk 2:2 — "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that he may run who reads it." Your charter is the tablet.

WEEK 1 · TASK 2
Write Your 5-Year Captain's Vision
One paragraph each: marriage, fathering, body, money, spirit.
A captain who can't say where the ship is going won't notice when it drifts. Use AI as the rough draft. You cut, you sign, you keep.
Action checklist
- Ask Claude to draft one paragraph for each domain:
- Marriage — what does it look like 5 years from now?
- Fathering — what kind of father will your kids describe?
- Body — what physical state are you in?
- Money — what's your financial position?
- Spirit — what's your walk with God?
- Read each paragraph aloud. Cut every line that's a wish but not a decision.
- Re-write the survivors in your own words. AI drafts. You sign.
- Save it. Re-read it the first day of every month for 5 years.
WHY THIS MATTERS
A man without a written vision is steered by the most recent email. Write it down so the day can't move you.
SCRIPTURE SIT
Proverbs 29:18 — "Where there is no vision, the people perish." Including the captain himself.

WEEK 1 · TASK 3
Build Your Tool Stack
2–4 tools from the Compass. One line of purpose each.
A captain knows what's on his ship. Open the Compass, pick 2–4 tools that earn their keep, and write one line of purpose each. Empty rows are honest.
Action checklist
- Open family-captain-tools.html (the Captain's Compass).
- Pick 2–4 tools you'll actually use this bootcamp.
- Write one line per tool: what I use it for: ____________________
- Save the page. You'll update it Week 7 during the audit.
SCRIPTURE SIT
Proverbs 27:23 — "Be diligent to know the state of your flocks." Same with your tools. Know what you have.
