Two ways to put work on a schedule
| Where it runs | Good for | |
|---|---|---|
| Routines | Anthropic's cloud, even with your laptop closed | Work that must run no matter what |
| Scheduled tasks | Your computer, through the Claude app | Work that uses your local files and apps |
Type /schedule or use the Scheduled sidebar, and set it up in plain English:
"Every Monday at 8, build a competitive brief and save it to this project."
Four to start with
- A weekly competitor roundup
- A daily pipeline snapshot
- A monthly campaign rollup
- Meeting prep built from your calendar every morning
Make it stick
- Pick one job you repeat.
- Ask for it in plain English.
- Review the first run closely.
- Tweak it, then let it run.
Recap
Routines and scheduled tasks turn your weekly chores into work that runs itself.
Your mission: schedule one weekly task that saves you at least an hour.
Next lesson: stay safe at work and turn this into a career advantage.
