So rather than just showing features, I also share the thinking behind the habits I’ve developed. This includes how to customize GPTs, how to safely upload and use academic material, and how to avoid common mistakes people make when using ChatGPT for multiple types of tasks. You’ll also see examples of the best ChatGPT prompts I use regularly—these aren’t flashy tricks, but reliable, flexible prompts that adapt to your context, especially if you're juggling different academic or professional projects.
