Your first 90 days

Your first 90 days are a practical window to learn what to hand off, how to review it, and what is useful enough to repeat. The aim is a dependable way of working that fits your business.

Start counting from your first usable access to your employee. This learning journey is separate from contract dates, delivery commitments, or billing terms. The stages below are suggested pacing. You can revisit any stage and read any guide at any time.

Days 1 to 7: Get one useful result

Choose one real task you can explain and check. Bring the relevant material, describe the outcome, and state what should wait for your review. Get your first result walks you through the handoff.

Check what comes back. Correct one specific issue if needed, then apply the reviewed result yourself or follow your agreed approval process.

Your evidence: one result you actually used, plus a note about what helped or needed correction. If access prevents the task, ask for help rather than spending the week rewriting the request.

Days 8 to 30: Make a good handoff repeatable

Return to the same useful task when it comes up again. Improve the brief with the right source material, an example of the result you want, and a clear review boundary.

Use Give a clear job and Teach your preferences. Confirm how any lasting preference is saved in your setup.

Choose a cue: “When my client call ends, I will hand over the notes for a draft follow-up.” Try the action at that occasion.

Your evidence: a reusable brief and more than one reviewed attempt. Identify what is still inconsistent.

Days 31 to 60: Establish one useful routine

Use Repeat a job to define the occasion, inputs, expected output, and reviewer. Start manually. Scheduled work requires an available, explicitly configured capability.

Hold a weekly review to see what you used and what needed rework. If a routine is not useful, change it or choose a better task.

Your evidence: a routine you can explain and repeat, with a record of the results and remaining review effort.

Days 61 to 90: Decide what deserves more responsibility

Review your examples against your original purpose. Keep dependable work, improve recurring problems, and retire tasks that no longer help. Try one adjacent responsibility when the current work supports that choice.

Your evidence: a short list of useful responsibilities, clear boundaries, and a plan for the next quarter. Use the quarterly review to make that plan concrete.

If you pause or fall behind

Resume at the next relevant task. These dates do not guarantee a habit or measure your ability. Progress means giving a clear handoff, checking the work, correcting it, applying it, and returning when the work calls for it.
