Short Summary
Main recommendation: Use ChatGPT for eight recurring work tasks, including writing self-evaluations, creating onboarding plans, drafting project briefs, analyzing feedback, preparing presentations, repackaging content for social media, planning intern development, and brainstorming team building. Each task pairs a structured prompt with a small amount of your own input, so ChatGPT handles the heavy lifting while you supply the context and check the results. The video uses the free ChatGPT 3.5 version throughout and says the prompts are linked in the description.
Key Points
- The eight ChatGPT productivity tips for work:
- Write your self-evaluation
- Create an onboarding plan for new hires
- Generate high-quality project briefs
- Analyze feedback
- Prepare amazing presentations
- Prepare social media posts
- Convert an internship to a full-time employee
- Brainstorm team building activities
- The self-evaluation prompt works because ChatGPT matches your projects to the company's performance attributes, adds corporate language, and reminds you to include quantifiable metrics.
- The onboarding and intern prompts both use the SMART framework and a table format; the onboarding example specifically can be pasted into a spreadsheet, with a metrics column to make progress measurable.
- Feedback analysis lets you sort survey responses into prioritized, team-specific recommendations instead of reviewing each response by hand.
Details Worth Noting
- Concrete instructions:
- Self-evaluation: copy the company's attribute definitions from internal sites, describe your projects, then give both to ChatGPT with the full prompt from the description. Review the output and add metrics where needed.
- Onboarding plan: tell ChatGPT you are an experienced manager helping new hires onboard, state your role and key performance indicator (the video's example is $10 million in quarterly revenue for a key account manager), and ask for a 30-60-90 day plan using the SMART framework, with a metric for each goal, output as a table.
- Project brief: ask ChatGPT to act as a senior project manager and create a brief with four sections: background and context; objectives and success metrics; the goal; and a timeline of milestones, planning kickoff, and event date. Also add the target audience and request eighth-grade reading level. Add your own basic project information first.
- Feedback analysis: paste the collected survey responses, ask for actionable insights prioritized by frequency, impact, and feasibility, and ask for recommendations grouped by sales, marketing, and product teams. A follow-up prompt can match feedback to teams, and the output can be pasted into separate spreadsheet tabs.
- Presentations: tell ChatGPT who the audience is and what they care about, then ask for three unorthodox, actionable ideas with detailed examples. For senior leadership, ask for five ways to make a 10-minute segment engaging. One suggested opener is a provocative statistic, such as "75% of customers are willing to pay more for a better customer experience."
- Social media: paste a long article and ask for concise, valuable summaries for LinkedIn. The speaker edited the output lightly and posted it, reporting better engagement than sharing the link alone.
- Intern to full-time: describe your internship role, ask for a 30-60-90 day personal development plan using SMART goals, and give each goal a measurable metric in a table. Example metric from the video: "I contributed to five user guides and attended 90% of optional training."
- Team building: give the prompt the group size (40 people), objective, budget ($10,000 USD), format (in person), and duration (three days), and ask for 10 suitable, inclusive activities. The output scales with the inputs.
- The opening sketch about a raise is comedic and not part of the productivity advice.
- The social media and presentation tips include a brief aside about posting self-promotional content, which the speaker suggests leading with value to avoid.
Bottom Line
Pair a clear, structured prompt with your own specifics and a quick review, and ChatGPT can turn several routine work tasks into usable drafts in minutes.
