In this blog post, I have shared four amazing Prompting frameworks that can improve your prompting skills.

Many are still leveraging less than 10% of ChatGPT capabilities — Master prompt crafting using this cheatsheet and the four promoting techniques.

Before we start, remember these pro tips…

  • It’s better to use ChatGPT alongside other productivity tools to maximize efficiency.
  • Use a handful of budget-friendly productivity and AI tools in conjunction with ChatGPT, such as Notion-AI(AI-Everything app), Miro(Free Visual Content Creation from text/chat tool), Quillbot(Grammarly’s more affordable and better version), and SaneBox(Free Email Management tool), which I personally use.
  • These tools are not only cost-effective but will also significantly boost your productivity, enabling you to excel in your day-to-day tasks.
  • Not happy with the output? Tweak these prompts slightly and try again, or ask it to improve its answer.
  • Good prompting skills will always benefit you, whether working with ChatGPT or any other LLM/Generative AI tool.

To add more value and as a USP of my blog, at the end of this blog post, I have designed and attached a cheat sheet of the prompts discussed here for you to use and share.

Also, I’ll share this month’s bonus tip or best productivity tools that are cheap, effective, and a game changer, which I personally use, prefer, and insist you all try. So do check them out and use them.

Here is the Bonus tip for you all:

Bonus Tip Miro is an AI-native app designed to streamline the process of brainstorming, studying, organizing, note-taking and presenting ideas.

Create stunning visual content(mind-maps, flowcharts, presentations etc) simply by chatting.

Miro helps convert your notes and structured essays into beautiful mind maps. It can create an easy-to-understand visual presentation from any idea or prompt.

Just enter a prompt, and you get a beautiful chart of your choice amongst the 2500+ free concept map templates. It makes me and my team understand everything faster,more efficient, and save a tonne of time.

I use it to create stunning mind maps, visual brainstorming, creating flowcharts and other presentations from my unorganized notes and ideas especially for my work, and studies.

This app has completely revolutionized the way I take notes and record my ideas, as someone who enjoys taking notes and jotting down every idea, this app is truly a game-changer.
