Step-by-Step Guidance

1. Step 1: Identify the task or query, such as creating a task list or writing a letter.

3. Step 3: Review ChatGPT’s response and customize it as needed.
4. Step 4: Implement the suggestions, whether it’s a meal plan, schedule, or email.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Being Vague: Be specific with your queries. Instead of asking, “Help with tasks,” specify, “Help me organize my tasks for the week, including personal and work responsibilities.”
2. Relying Solely on ChatGPT: While ChatGPT can assist with daily tasks, always personalize and review the output to make sure it meets your specific needs.
