ChatGPT is truly groundbreaking AI technology.

But 99% of people don't know how to harness its full potential.

Here's 10 incredible ways ChatGPT can 10x your productivity in 2023:
Simplify complex topics

If you're ever confused about a complicated topic...

Log into ChatGPT and type:

"Explain [complex topic] like I'm 5 years old."

It'll output a dead-simple, easy-to-follow response.

It's incredible for learning.

One of my personal favorites.
Summarize articles

Articles on the web can be a pain in the ass to read.

There's far too many:

• Annoying paywalls
• Unnecessary paragraphs
• Distracting advertisements

Luckily, ChatGPT can save you time & the hassle.

It'll summarize main points from any URL you feed it.
First drafts

I don't recommend copying & pasting from ChatGPT.

Why? Because it's not your own writing.

However, it's great for first drafts:

1. Tell it to write [type of content]
2. Use ideas & structure as inspiration
3. Rewrite in your own voice

Writer's block = destroyed.
Edit your writing

Adios, Grammarly.

ChatGPT is a far superior writing assistant.

If you're unhappy with a piece of writing...

Copy & paste it into ChatGPT.

Then, you can tell it to:

• Proofread spelling & grammar
• Recommend changes
• Edit in a specific style

Powerful.
Generate headlines

If your headline isn't eye-catching...

Then nobody's gonna open your:

• Video
• Thread
• Newsletter

Fortunately, ChatGPT can save the day.

Ask it to generate various headlines on a certain topic.

Then, pick your favorite or use them as inspiration.
University papers

For everyone in college, this one's a time-saving game-changer.

ChatGPT can write plagiarism-free papers for you.

It can also find relevant quotes from articles & cite them in:

• APA
• MLA
• Chicago

...and more.

Of course, still add your own thoughts.
Discover new ideas

ChatGPT is the greatest idea-generation tool on the planet.

Tell it to list ideas related to an umbrella topic.

When you find one you like...

Repeat with this idea as the new umbrella topic.

You'll find endless content ideas going down these rabbit holes.
Content Research

When you have a new idea to write about...

It can take a long time to research & find relevant:

• Videos
• Articles
• Podcasts

ChatGPT makes it 10x faster.

Just type in:

"List [#] [type of content] on [topic] with links."

Creative research, made easy.
Summarize books

So many books, so little time.

It's impossible to read every book you want to in this life.

While it can never replace actually reading the book...

ChatGPT can distill the major:

• Ideas
• Quotes
• Actionable tips

It's great for research & saving time.
Search engine

ChatGPT has many advantages as a search engine over Google:

• 0 ads
• Direct answer
• No clicking through links

It's been more efficient for me.

However, ChatGPT:

• Has no info past 2021
• Is occasionally incorrect

But once this is fixed, it's game over.

Japan is dying.

They lost 861,000 people in 2023.
By 2070, 1 in 3 of her citizens will have vanished.

Everyone blames work culture and housing costs.

But the Japanese have a word for what's truly destroying their society:

Meet the 'Hikikomori' 🧵: Image
The Japanese are one of the fastest-declining nations on Earth.

@elonmusk keeps sounding the alarm, but most people miss the deeper crisis beneath the surface.

Yes, sky-high costs and brutal work hours are partially at fault.

But there's a darker force at play: Image
Screen addiction.

The Japanese have named its most extreme form: "Hikikomori" — meaning "pulling inward."

It represents complete social withdrawal from the real world.

To be officially classified as a hikikomori, you must meet these (insanely) chilling criteria: Image

ChatGPT and AI threads are overused.

But there's 1000s of genuinely valuable AI tools out there.

Here's 8 AI websites I actually use to make my life easier:
Perplexity

This is a crazy statement, but I rarely use Google Search anymore.

Perplexity's AI search experience is simply better:

It gives you the answer straight up without having to dig through links.

I use their Chrome extension and iOS app.

tl;dv

An AI-powered meeting note-taker.

tl;dv (short for too long; didn't view) records, transcribes, & summarizes video calls for you.

I've been using it mostly for onboarding calls & client meetings.
