Use Cursor as a private admin assistant

They used Cursor for personal tasks while keeping private notes and stricter rules separate from public drafting.

What they did
They handled brainstorming and private admin in the same Cursor setup, but changed the rules depending on the job. For personal errands, they worked from a private notes area and used instructions that blocked personal details from appearing in public or commercial drafts. They also kept short follow-up notes on their phone, then asked the agent at the desk to pick up from the open questions in that note.
How it went
The setup is described as something that works for them, not as a measured test. A dentist email is given as one example of the kind of task they route through it, and the split between modes seems to come from routine.
Tips
Treat the separation as a habit, not a hard guardrail. Keep one running note for each lane with sections for context, what you captured today, and open questions, then refresh it soon after each chat.

Try it yourself with Cursor

I’m using Cursor for private admin. Read my note at [folder path] and these rules in [rules file]. Draft a message to [dentist/doctor/other provider] about booking an appointment for [reason] sometime around [dates]. Leave out [personal details to exclude]. Show me the draft first and stop before sending; ask for my approval before any send, submit, delete, or payment step.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
