🚀 ChatGPT Upgrade
I asked my friend Rob Cressy (ai expert and coach), what’s the most useful thing you can teach in under 5 minutes?
Rob: “Well, you’ve customized your ChatGPT instructions right.”
Me: “Uh I think so. Let me check…”
Oops. My project instructions were updated, my overall ChatGPT instructions were blank! 🤦‍♂️
Similar to internet speed, keyboard shortcuts, health, etc… This is one of those upstream upgrades that have HUGE LEVERAGE for everything downstream. Aka my favorite improvements.
Custom instructions = compound leverage
So I spent a few hours prompting and setting mine up.
