Framework for Better ChatGPT Prompts

1. Give context, not just commands. Instead of: "Write a professional email." Try: "Write a polite but firm email to a client about a missed deadline. Keep it under 100 words." 2. Define the output you actually need. Instead of: "Summarize this meeting." Try: "Extract key decisions, action items, owners, and deadlines." 3. Make ChatGPT challenge its own work. Instead of: "Analyze my business idea." Try: "Identify hidden assumptions, major risks, and 3 reasons this idea might fail." 4. Never confuse confidence with accuracy. Ask it to flag uncertainty, missing information, and claims that need verification.
