Two practical prompts: a time-blindness auditor and gamifying boring tasks
ifioknkem · x · 2026-10-17
Ifiok Nkem shares two ready-to-use prompts:
- Time-Blindness Auditor: when you think a project takes 20 minutes but it usually takes 2 hours, have AI identify the 3 hidden sub-tasks you always forget so you can set a realistic deadline.
- Interest-Based Filter: gamify a boring admin task by connecting it to your current hyper-fixation, with a quest structure where finishing unlocks a reward.
The thread ends with self-promotion, but the prompts themselves are actionable.
