5 Habits to Maximize Your ChatGPT Usage

A suggestion has emerged to use ChatGPT as a workspace where data accumulates, rather than a blank screen. IT publication TechRadar proposed methods to reduce repetitive explanations and increase productivity by actively utilizing existing conversations, reusable prompts, and reference documents, rather than starting a new conversation each time. The goal is to allocate more time for ChatGPT to provide actual assistance by building a reusable environment rather than focusing on advanced features.

Specifically, users can save frequently requested conditions like tone or length as 'reusable prompts' to avoid the hassle of re-entering them each time. Furthermore, the 'document-based utilization' feature, which allows users to attach files containing necessary information such as family meal plans or travel itineraries to elicit answers, is also useful. Continuing conversations on related topics within the same chat for days or weeks, rather than starting a new conversation for each new question, is also efficient.

Instead of abstractly describing the desired style, directly presenting actual example sentences and requesting ChatGPT to imitate them contributes to improving the quality of responses. Finally, having ChatGPT's generated drafts reviewed by various roles, such as editors or experts, is effective in identifying and improving the weaknesses of the output. This demonstrates that treating ChatGPT as an cumulative work environment, rather than a one-off question-and-answer tool, enhances practical usage efficiency.
