The AI Fluency Playbook: Three Habits That Keep You Ahead
March 16, 2026
In Episode 3, Chris Bradley introduces a three-habit framework built for continuous AI fluency: the AI Pulse, a monthly calibration that keeps your mental model of AI's capabilities current; the Workflow Lab, a weekly thirty-minute session dedicated to examining and redesigning one workflow at a time; and the Workflow Pause, an in-the-moment reflex that catches automation opportunities before you execute on autopilot.
The episode also shows how ODIF — the agentic direction framework from Episode 2 — maps directly onto workflow redesign, making every Lab session more rigorous and every output more immediately usable.
Most people plateau with AI. Not because they lack skill — but because they mistake usage for fluency. They use the tool more, expect improvement to follow, and then wonder why the gap between them and the most effective people on their team isn't closing.
This episode addresses that directly. The answer isn't a better training program. It's a better practice system.

The goal isn't to cover more ground. It's to build habits that compound — practices that run continuously.
