GPT is amazing at speed.
But speed without depth?
That’s just noise, faster.
If you want to use GPT not just to do more —
but to think better,
here are 3 prompts that changed how I write, reflect, and create.
1️⃣ “Play Devil’s Advocate to This Idea”
“I believe [your idea]. Argue against it from multiple perspectives.”
Why it works:
- Challenges your blind spots
- Surfaces hidden objections
- Helps you strengthen your reasoning
2️⃣ “Summarize This Like You’re Explaining It to a Child”
“Rewrite the following so a 10-year-old can understand it.”
Why it works:
- Exposes complexity and jargon
- Forces clarity
- Makes your thinking more accessible
3️⃣ “Turn This Into a Framework Others Can Use”
“Reframe this idea as a 3-step framework that others can follow.”
Why it works:
- Helps you generalize
- Builds structure
- Turns insights into tools
💭 Why These Prompts Matter
Most people use GPT to produce content.
I use it to shape my cognition.
Better questions → Better clarity → Better output.
You don’t need more speed.
You need more structure, contrast, and perspective.
✅ Final Thought
Prompt like a builder, not just a typer.
These 3 will build your mind, not just your doc.
