Claude Mastery Plan

Spend 20 to 30 minutes a day for 30 days. Each week adds a new layer of Claude, and every practice task uses your real work, so you get value while you learn.

Mastery is not knowing every feature. It is using the right one without thinking.

• Pick the plan that fits your use; some features need paid plans
• Install the Claude app on desktop and phone
• Write down three tasks you want Claude to help with

Days 1 and 2

Use role, task, context, format, tone, and constraints in every prompt

Days 3 and 4

Paste real documents and ask for summaries, critiques, and rewrites

Days 5 and 6

Practise follow-ups instead of starting over

Day 7

Save your five best prompts as templates

Days 8 and 9

Create Projects for your main areas with instructions and files

Days 10 and 11

Make documents, tables, and small apps as artifacts

Days 12 and 13

Use extended thinking on a hard decision

Day 14

Pick the right model: Haiku for quick tasks, Sonnet for most work, Opus for the hardest

Days 15 and 16

Connect your email, calendar, and files

Days 17 and 18

Days 28 and 29

Combine it all into one end-to-end workflow

Day 30

Review your progress and plan what is next

• They give context before asking
• They define what “done” looks like
• They ask Claude to question them first on big tasks
• They check facts and keep judgment calls their own
• They save what works and reuse it

• Hours saved per week on your three chosen tasks
• Number of saved templates, Projects, and Skills
• Tasks you now hand to Claude that you used to do by hand

• Trying every feature in one day
• Using Claude only for questions you could search
• Trusting answers without checking
• Sharing private data with features you have not reviewed

• Advanced prompting for agents
• MCP and custom connectors
• The Claude API for building your own tools
• Claude Design, Motion, and Dashboards if your plan includes them
