ChatGPT can write and edit things for you, convert data, and generate code. Here are some prompts to try in your work life.
There are four categories of things I do the most with ChatGPT:
- Help me with home life
- Help me work
- Help me learn
- Have a bit of fun

Here are ten prompt ideas to try (prompt text in bold), and how they turned out.
Blog post ideas, like “blog post ideas for a self-improvement blog with a focus on digital life”
Write something for me, like “YouTube video script for a 1min video about how to use ChatGPT to save time at work”
Refine text, like by summarising, or expanding it, like “summarise this text for me: [and paste your text]”
