X user nikolamr64990 shares two reusable ChatGPT prompt templates arguing that constraints, not creativity requests, unlock better output.
- For ideas: instead of "give me ideas", ask for 10 ideas for a specific goal and audience, explicitly excluding common recommendations, ranked by impact and ease, with reasoning for the top 3.
- For plans: instead of "make me a plan", state your goal, timeframe, resources, and limitations, then ask for a phased, prioritized plan with a concrete first step.
The takeaway: you need better criteria, not more steps.
