In just a couple of years, ChatGPT has been everywhere in nearly every single field. In such a short period of time, it has become one of the most well-known and used tool in the entire world.
Even though a lot of people use it every single day, but they don’t have any idea on what ChatGPT can actually do.
Till now, we haven’t even scouted the entire surface yet, so there are various things ChatGPT can do, but we don’t know.
A lot of things it can do, can actually make our day-to-day life a lot more easier and organized.
So, in this post, I’ll share 5 ChatGPT hacks that can make your life a lot more easier.
Whether you’re a student or a professional working a 9-5 job, these five hacks can be really-really helpful for each and every one.
1. Let ChatGPT Help You With Your Busy Life
Have you got way too much going on every single day in your life? Your day is full of meetings, tasks, errands, etc. that you don’t even get any time to manage them properly? If yes, then this hack is for you!
Instead of using tools like Google Calendar and doing all the planning yourself, you can just ask ChatGPT to build a custom schedule that is personalized to you.
Here’s the trick to do it. Don’t just say, “Can you make me a schedule for an entire week.” Tell it clearly what your day looks like now and what changes you want to make in it.
You can use a Prompt like this:
“I’m working on multiple freelance projects at the same time. Can you create a schedule that blocks out time for client meetings, deep work, and breaks? I work best in the morning time and want to finish my work by 6 PM.”
After typing a similar prompt to this, ChatGPT will come up with a schedule that is personalized to you. If you don’t like any part of the schedule, you can just ask ChatGPT to change that part. Then, you’ll have a best possible schedule that is actually applicable.
If you’re a 9-5 working Professional, you can use a Prompt like this:
“I work a 9-5 job, but I want to start a side hustle on the side that could make me some extra income. My problem is, I can’t manage my time properly. When I return home from work, I’m really-really tired. I want to work atleast 1 hour on my side hustle every single day. So, keeping these things in mind, can you create a work schedule for me.”
Remember, this is just a sample prompt I made. You can make changes in it as you like and want to get a personalized schedule for yourself.
2.Create Customized Learning Plans
Do you want to learn a new topic or skill, but don’t know where to start? Maybe you want to learn a new language, or want to learn creating better graphics, or even Algebra?
Whatever you want to learn, ChatGPT can help you in it. It can create a personalized learning plan that fits your time, goals and skill level.
You can ask something like this to ChatGPT:
“I want to learn French for travel. I have 15 minutes a day, and I’m a complete beginner. Can you make a 3-month plan for me?”
Once you ask it to ChatGPT, it will come up with a learning plan that fits all your needs. You can even ask it to provide links to free learning resources and fun ways to practice your skills.
If you ever get confused about something, then you can ask follow-up questions like:
“What’s the difference between passé composé and imparfait in French?”
You can even role-play conversations to practice speaking.
3. Ask Better Questions (To Get Better Answers)
Sometimes, when you ask ChatGPT something, the answer it gives you is not what you want. If you want better answers, then you need to ask better and clear questions to it.
You need to ask your questions in as simple words and clearly as possible.
You can also use what’s called Prompt Stacking to get much better results from ChatGPT. Here’s how it works!
Start with a broad term:
“Explain the basics of blockchain technology.”
Then, go a little deeper:
“How does proof-of-stake differ from proof-of-work?”
After that, you can ask it something super specific like:
“List five real-world uses of blockchain in supply chain management.”
Doing it this way helps ChatGPT understand the direction you’re going. And if the final answer still doesn’t hit the mark, you can keep refining it.
Doing this, you can get much better and detailed answers from ChatGPT. And if you don’t get the exact answer you can, you can keep asking it again and again.
Bonus Tip: Ask ChatGPT to turn all the info into a summary or simple points, so that it will be a lot more easier for you to read and understand the topic.

4. Let ChatGPT do the Brainstorming for You
We are humans not robots, so we can’t come up with good ideas whenever we need.
Many of us including me myself have sat in front of our computer screen or a piece of paper thinking where and how to start.
In such situations, ChatGPT can be your best friend. ChatGPT can help you in coming up with creative ideas for whatever you’re working on.
Here’s what to do:
First, be specific. Instead of saying, “Give me a short story idea,” try saying:
“I want to write a sci-fi story about people who live underwater. Can you suggest me some ideas to start.”
After typing this, ChatGPT will come up with some unique ideas for you. Choose the idea you like and start writing!
You can even ask for:
1. Story Outline
2. Character names and backstories
3. Dialogue ideas, etc.
Quick Note: While ChatGPT is great for brainstorming ideas, don’t rely on it to write the entire story. Use it as a tool, not a shortcut.
5. Try Role Playing With ChatGPT
This one is the most fun hack of ChatGPT out of all five.
You can ask ChatGPT to pretend to be someone else. This can help you to get more specific answers. It sounds weird, but it works really well.
Just say Something like:
“You’re a career coach. Can you help me edit my resume for a senior marketing role?”
OR
“You’re a nutritionist. Plan a week of vegan meals for someone training for a marathon.”
By telling ChatGPT what role to take on, you’ll get responses that are way more useful and detailed.
This kind of roleplaying is perfect when you want some expert-level help in doing something. It could save you a lot of time that you would spend browsing through hundreds of blog posts and forums.
Try it for yourself, you’ll be surprised how well it works!
Final Thoughts
ChatGPT isn’t just a Q&A bot that answers your basic questions. If you know how to use it, then it can even be your personal planner, tutor, brainstorm buddy, and even your creative assistant. You just need to know how to use it right.
The more you experiment with it, the better and in-depth results you’ll get! So, go try out new things with it.
Maybe start by asking it the same question in different ways.
