5 ChatGPT prompts to unlock endless motivation
When your motivation to make a difference is at an all-time high, you are unstoppable. You wake up raring to go, you power on with high-leverage work and you feel pumped about every win. This is what progress feels like. But when you’re bored, uninspired or frustrated things are moving too slowly, it might be tough to summon the energy to begin. Enter ChatGPT. Use these prompts to regain your business mojo and become the version of you that can show up to deliver.
Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through. Tap into a source of endless motivation that sees you through every challenge.
When running a business feels like a struggle it’s not much fun. Rather than ride the highs and lows that clients, team members and suppliers bring, enjoying overcoming every obstacle, you go from anxious to ecstatic and flit around powered by cortisol. This is unsustainable. To be motivated in a sustainable way, treat your work like a game. Remember to have fun. Don’t lose perspective in the day-to-day grind.
“Help me gamify my work to sustain motivation and make daily tasks more enjoyable. Here’s some context about my work: [describe your projects, challenges, or routine tasks]. Based on this information, suggest creative ways to turn these aspects of my work into a game-like experience. Propose engaging methods like point scoring, rewards, and milestones to approach my tasks. Also, provide ideas for maintaining a light-hearted, game-like perspective, even when faced with challenges. The goal is to transform work into an enjoyable and motivating experience, reducing stress and enhancing productivity through a playful approach.”
Everyone has a success system, and your past achievements hold clues. Chances are, the steps you took to succeed in the past can be replicated and applied going forward. So figure out what yours are. Dig into a former success and ask ChatGPT to quiz you on the method. Then, ask it to help you apply the framework to whatever you’re doing right now. Find the motivation to follow the steps because you feel sure it will work.
“Engage me in a discussion to uncover my personal success system by analyzing a past achievement. Start by asking me 5 questions, one by one, about a specific achievement from my past: [describe this experience here]. Through your questions, help me identify the key steps, strategies, and mindsets that contributed to this success. After we have established my success system, move to assisting me in applying this framework to a new challenge I am facing [describe the current challenge or goal]. The aim is to adapt and utilize my proven methods of success to this new context, fostering motivation and confidence in my approach.”
Why do you do it? What really matters to you? So many people don’t know this piece of vital information because they never ask the question. But we’re motivated by different things. For some it’s money, recognition, accolades. For others it’s being of service or making a difference. If you’re chasing the same metrics as everyone else your actions might feel shallow. Find out your personal “why” with the following prompt.
“Initiate a conversation to help me discover my core motivation by rating various statements about hypothetical outcomes of my work. Present me with a series of seven statements, one by one, related to [outline your work goals]. For each statement, I will rate it on a scale of 1-10, where 1 means ‘wouldn’t mean anything to me’ and 10 means ‘would mean the world to me’. Based on my responses, analyze the pattern or themes that emerge and suggest what my underlying ‘why’ might be – the driving force or core motivation behind my actions and decisions. This exercise is intended to help me gain clarity on what truly matters to me and how it shapes my entrepreneurial journey.”
What do you do when nobody’s watching? Do you skip the gym, scroll your Instagram feed and avoid doing the work that matters? Accountability works. Signing up some accountability partners can be the kick start you need to keep going indefinitely. Find others to support you on your journey, and you on theirs. Find those in a similar stage, with similar goals, to succeed together. Get ideas with the following prompt.
“Provide suggestions for accountability actions with a friend who could be my accountability partner. My goal is [describe your goal], and my potential accountability partner is [describe the friend and their business]. Based on this, recommend three specific accountability actions we can take. These could include regular check-ins, shared tasks, or collaborative activities that align with our mutual business goals. The aim is for these actions to keep us both motivated and on track, ensuring we support each other in our entrepreneurial journeys.”
No matter what anyone says, you cannot go on full stream forever. You will run out of gas, your reserves depleted. Rest is essential. For reflection, for recharging, and to retool to go again. Don’t skip rest day. Plan your dream rest day schedule with ChatGPT, and make it something you look forward to. Find out what truly relaxes and re-energises you to get a structure for the day and a list of dos and don’ts. How closely you follow it is up to you.
“Help me plan my ideal rest day schedule. First, ask me 5 questions, one by one, to outline activities that relax and re-energize me, as well as those that drain me. Based on my responses, create the schedule for an entire day that incorporates these relaxing and re-energizing activities while avoiding the draining ones. The schedule should balance relaxation, personal interests, and any rejuvenating routines. Also, include a list of ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ for the day, tailored to ensure I maximize rest and recovery. This plan will serve as a guide for creating a restful, rejuvenating day that helps me recharge fully.”
