Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open ChatGPT Tasks, Work or an approved connected app where available and confirm you are using the intended account or workspace.
  2. Design a weekly briefing workflow with review gates.
  3. Pause and check privacy, permissions, source material, feature availability and any instruction that affects the task.
  4. Review the result carefully and confirm that you can repeat useful work consistently.
  5. Save only the useful, verified output and record one improvement for your next prompt.
Ian's practical tip: Start with fictional or non-sensitive information. Treat the first response as a draft, then verify facts, sources, calculations and permissions before using it.
