The Master Life Prompt
The first step to making AI work for you is context. Most users start from zero with every new chat, but you can build a Master Life Prompt. This is a comprehensive document—saved as a PDF—that details your values, goals, weaknesses, and principles.
By uploading this PDF at the start of a session, you ensure every answer the AI provides is filtered through your specific lens. You don’t just get a generic response; you get advice tailored to who you are and where you are going.
Uncovering Blind Spots with the “Hidden Truth Mirror”
AI is an incredible tool for self-reflection. By feeding ChatGPT your journals, blog posts, or even a year’s worth of previous chat history, you can ask it to identify patterns you might be blind to. Ask the prompt: “Tell me something unique about my thinking patterns that I don’t see yet.” The results can often reveal deep-seated habits or traits that, once identified, allow for immediate personal growth.
Transforming Meetings into Assets
Meetings are often the biggest “time sink” in professional life. To turn them into assets, use AI to process your call recordings. By uploading a transcript from a platform like Zoom, you can ask ChatGPT to:
- Generate a one-page checklist of action items.
- Identify potential pitfalls mentioned during the call.
- Create a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) based on the instructions you gave.
This effectively turns a messy 60-minute conversation into a repeatable playbook that you can delegate to others.
Legal and Financial Superpowers
You don’t need a law degree to understand the fine print. One of the most practical uses for AI is acting as a Contract Translator. Before speaking to a lawyer, upload your contracts to ChatGPT and ask it to rewrite them in “Plain English.”
Crucially, ask the AI to:
- Highlight the three riskiest terms in the document.
- Provide three questions you should ask your lawyer to ensure you are protected. This turns your assistant or even yourself into a “next-level ninja” when it comes to legal prep.
Roleplaying Tough Conversations
Whether it’s asking for a raise, giving tough feedback to an employee, or having a difficult talk with a partner, the anxiety usually comes from the unknown. You can use ChatGPT as a sparring partner.
Ask the AI to adopt a specific persona—such as your manager or a skeptical bank officer—and then roleplay the conversation. You can practice your delivery, anticipate their objections, and refine your perspective before you ever step into the room.
The Eulogy Writer: Clarity Through Perspective
Finally, for ultimate life alignment, use AI to help you write your own eulogy. While it sounds morbid, this exercise provides immense clarity on how you want to be remembered. Feed the AI your master prompt and ask it to draft a eulogy from the perspective of your family, friends, and colleagues. If you don’t like what it writes, you have the clarity you need to start changing your actions today.
