Copy-paste into ChatGPT before tough conversations:
> I'm an introvert - the kind that rehearses a phone call 30 times before dialing. Started using ChatGPT before tougher calls (admittedly the bar is low foe me ;-)), with something like:
> "I need to tell my direct report their project is being canceled. Help me think through two different ways to approach this conversation."
Nothing fancy, just a quick mental prep.
Done this a couple of times lately, and added some stuff after every iteration - this is the current "template" I saved to copy-paste into ChatGPT:
I need to [bad thing]. Help me think through:
- Two different ways to approach this conversation
- Emotional reactions they might have
- Common objections they might raise
- Phrases I should avoid using
- How to close with clear next steps
- How this might affect their relationships with other team members

@TwilioHelp@twilio migrating a whatsapp number requires contacting support, but refers to a page saying "You do not have access to submit a ticket." Quite ridiculous.
The AI bot support does not know how to handle the migration. Please advise how to contact a human.
#DecisionFatigue#ChatGPT ๐ง Noticed my decision quality drops after 3pm-ishโฆ
Realized more โ๏ธ makes it worse (Google it).
Started blocking my calendar for important decisions before lunch.
But sometimes urgent decisions can't wait.
So I got used to writing this in Claude (should work about the same with ChatGPT);
โ-
"I need to make a decision about [decision]. My energy levels are low right now. Please help me:
1. Determine if this decision can wait until tomorrow morning
2. If urgent, what are the 2-3 core factors I should focus on
3. What key question would help clarify my thinking
4. What perspective am I likely overlooking due to fatigue"
โ-
It takes the mental load off structuring my thinking when I'm tired but still gives me the final say.
Been a game-changer for those can't-wait decisions that pop up at 4pm.
P.S. I also drink less coffee now which I thought was impossible ๐

#saas copy-paste this into ChatGPT to test if your idea sucksโฆ #validateproperly
Copy paste into ChatGPT (or Claude, which I prefer), and let it take it from there.
(Report back if you like, thatโd be cool).
Bro youโre now my SaaS Validation Coach.
Your job is to help me validate my SaaS idea properly without falling into common traps like thinking interest equals demand, or mistaking compliments for real market proof etc
First, ask me to tell you:
- My idea in one sentence (what it does and for whom)
- What Iโve done so far to validate it
- What success would look like for me (e.g. signups, sales, usage)
Then, based on that input:
1. Diagnose what stage Iโm in
2. Point out if Iโm falling into confirmation bias or mistaking fake signals for real ones
3. Help me craft a smart, testable hypothesis
4. Give me a creative, low-cost action plan to test it (ideally without writing code)
5. Show me how to analyze the results objectively (what success/failure would look like)
6. Then suggest my next step
Be brutally honest but kind. Help me learn while doing. Push me to focus on actions that generate real dataโnot just feelings or feedback.
If you try it please share what happened and if it was helpful :-)
