Most people don't realise half of what ChatGPT can do — and neither did you until right now. These aren't the optimisation LinkedIn vibes you've seen a million times.

This is just practical stuff that'll make your work faster, your brain calmer, and your life easier.

Episode Summary

  • Turn off data sharing in settings. Go to profile → Data Controls and disable 'Improve the model for everyone.' If you're on the free version, this is your litmus test to start paying for it.
  • Custom Instructions are your North Star. Write them like you're onboarding a junior staffer with zero context. Include how you think, your tone, words you hate, your unique lexicon, and your tech stack.
  • Ask clarifying questions before ChatGPT guesses. Drop 'Can you ask me clarifying questions until you're 95% sure?' at the bottom of your prompt. It stops the mid responses.
  • Drop in screenshots for quick summaries. Use it to restructure Notion pages, extract testimonials from DMs, or prioritise your to-do list by urgency and energy.
  • Use voice mode like you'd talk to a mentor. Brain dump your tasks, commute conversations, or have it extract content ideas through Q&A instead of just asking for captions.
  • Rewrite without losing your voice. Prompt it: 'Rewrite this in my tone' or 'Act as an editor, don't rewrite.' Ask why it made changes so you don't hand over critical thinking.
  • Build micro-tools in Canvas. Turn spreadsheets into interactive dashboards, then ask ChatGPT to analyse what worked and what to tweak next.
