TRY THESE! Using ChatGPT as a Devil's Advocate, 6 Prompt Personas, Tiny ChatGPT Routines for Knowledge Work, and Working with YouTube Transcripts

  • Decision Stress-Tester Prompt as Devil’s Advocate: “Decision Stress-Tester” prompt turns ChatGPT into a ruthless devil’s advocate for big choices. It attacks assumptions, highlights blind spots, and runs a pre-mortem on your plan, with clear disclaimers that it’s for reflection only and not professional advice.
  • Six Situational Prompt Personas for Better Communication: Author uses personas like “My Boss Is Watching,” “My Mom Is Asking,” “I’m In The Elevator,” and “My Teenager Won’t Listen” to steer tone and framing. Each persona helps AI tailor explanations, brevity, urgency, or credibility to the real audience.
  • Tiny ChatGPT Routines Automate Everyday Knowledge Work: Describes five small, reusable prompts that now handle repeated tasks: reply drafting, meeting notes to actions, multi-platform content repurposing, proposal building, and realistic weekly planning. All live in one workspace so work doesn’t pile up or get reinvented.
  • Feeding YouTube Transcripts into ChatGPT Project Context: User explains how they’ve extracted YouTube subtitles, stitched them into a single text file with headers, and uploaded that plus API docs and diagrams into a ChatGPT Project. They ask how to ensure the assistant consistently consults those files when answering.
