You’re using ChatGPT wrong

Bottom Section: 

Based on the analysis, distill what you've learned into a concise set of instructions for ChatGPT. This should communicate the essence of how you want ChatGPT to approach tasks for you.

For example:

• "When assisting me, use a tone that is professional yet approachable, with clear, concise explanations suitable for a broad audience. Incorporate humor and light sarcasm where appropriate, and always aim for practical, actionable advice."

Correction: Automate Tasks Without Coding

Ask ChatGPT to write scripts for tasks (e.g., Google Docs automation).

• Write a Google Apps Script for my 1:1 meeting notes in Google Docs that does the following: add a new page with 'Date: [Today’s Date]', add a heading 'Notes' followed by three bullet points, add a heading 'Action Items' followed by a numbered list, create a button I can click before every meeting to generate this new page.

Implement these scripts in Google Apps like Docs or Sheets.

Correction: Improve ChatGPT Responses

End your prompts by asking ChatGPT to propose questions that could improve its response.

• Ask me five questions that would improve the response you'll be giving me.

Use the feedback loop to refine ChatGPT's output.

Correction #1: Extract Actionable Insights

Ask ChatGPT to apply information from articles to your specific role or challenge.

• I'll share an article below on [Topic]. How does the information in this article apply to a [Your Role], responsible for [Your Responsibility]? Here is the article: [Paste Article].

Correction #2: Dedicated Q&A

Use Q&A sessions with ChatGPT to dissect and analyze reports.

• Assume the role of a senior business analyst with over 20 years of experience. For the rest of this conversation, I'd like to engage in a Q&A session where you'll provide insights, analyses, and answers based on the uploaded report in PDF format. If you understand, please respond with 'Yes'.

Then ask targeted questions.

You can even "stress test" by asking it questions that you know are not in the uploaded report.

Correction: Optimize ChatGPT Prompts

Identify prompts relevant to your daily tasks and refine them for effectiveness.

• Assume the role of an experienced prompt engineer with over 20 years of experience. I am a [Your Role] working on [Your Responsibility] with the goal of [Your Objective]. Give me 10 ChatGPT prompts that will help me become more productive in my job.

Try those prompts for a few weeks and then refine them using the "perfect prompt formula".

Limit yourself to a few prompts to avoid overload and focus on those that add the most value.
