How I Used ChatGPT to Design a Goal-Driven Game Board

Let's talk gamification. So for those of you who really enjoy gamification as a way to get things done, as a way to reach whatever success it is that you're looking for. One of the ways that I've been using ChatGPT is to come up with game ideas for me or come up with a game board. I guess I should say it's kind of like the Game of Life, except it's actually my game of life. And so I have two words. One is for my health, because that's been a major goal for me, and then the other one is for my business. So after a lot of back and forth with ChatGPT, I used it to come up with a background for me that looked what I was wanting. It's a little bit mystical, it's a little bit foresty. It just looks like what I envisioned a game board to look like for this. And then I put a bunch of little paths on there, little boxes from there. I wrote in the task that ChatGPT helped me come up with. So I essentially asked ChatGPT what are the most important steps for me to take each month. And then I had it also come up with a few, like, power up spots. So the power up spots are spots where it's like if I do this One thing, like 10 blog posts, for example, it's going to have a bigger impact than one of the smaller ones. And then I also have boss spots. And the boss spots are some of those bigger things that I have been avoiding that are really important, like ads, ads running. We've had them before, but it's just taken me forever to get them back going. And so that one was like a boss spot. And by doing this. Well, actually, let me say this, I put it all in there and then printed it at Staples and got it laminated so I could hang it on my wall and check it off as I go. Most of the months I have the same. There's a lot of similar tasks like content creation and things like that. And so anytime there's not a similar spot or something that doesn't apply across the board, I just leave a spot open so that I can write it in with a Visa Visa marker and then get it printed. It's stable as laminated and I can exit off as I go. And my goal is to get as many of the spots completed in a month as possible. What I'm noticing about this, that kind of surprised me is that it's making it harder for me to do other stuff that doesn't actually move the needle forward, because if I do that stuff, there's no way I'm going to be able to check off the boxes of the things that will actually move the needle forward. According to ChatGPT and of course reviewed by me, and at least for me, when it is right in front of my face and I have boxes that I can check off, it's really easy to see the tasks that are actually going to move things forward and tasks that aren't. So, for example, the other day, somebody on my team was like, hey, can you update the copy on the thank you page for this offer that we have? And it's not really necessary for me to do it. I can just say, hey, here's what needs to be updated, and then they can do it. They can use ChatGPT to help them at this point. I've done plenty of trainings on writing and stuff like that that they could put into ChatGPT and get out an idea of what we could say. We could take other thank you pages that we've done in the past, put that in, see what the formula is, and then create a new one from that. So there's a lot that we can do that doesn't necessarily require me, especially if they're using ChatGPT. And so even just asking someone to do that, rather than me just taking it on, because I'll tell myself, oh, it won't take that long, I'll just do it really quick. But when I'm looking at the boxes and I see that, okay, if I do this, yeah, it might not take a ton of time right now, but it's gonna. It's gonna be, let's say, 10, 15 minutes. That's 10 or 15 minutes that I can. That I would have been able to use to accomplish one of the other things on the boxes that I have to check off. And because I put so many boxes each month, it means that I really have to stay focused. And I think this, more than almost anything else that I've done, is what's helping me stay focused on the things that are actually going to move the needle forward. So one of the prompts I used to create this was, I want you to review what we talked about in our previous conversations, and I want you to come up with some ways or the most. Sorry, let me start over. I want you to review our previous conversations and the goals that I've talked about. And then I gave it some context. So I said, you know, making X amount per month. My goal is to be Making Y amount per month. Here's what I'm doing that's worked. Here's what I'm doing that hasn't worked. Even if I'm doing a ton of stuff that's worked, going from one number to another number, especially if there's a big jump in between those two, it's. I mean it takes some extra work and some changes. Like what's working for you now isn't going to work for you a year from now if you want to grow. And so that, and then I asked it to list out all those tasks and the subtasks. What I found was sometimes would say something like, run an ad is great except you have to write the copy for the ad. You have to come up with multiple different ones that you can test out. You write the headline, you need to write the call to action. You need to come up with a creative image. There's just a lot more than just quote, unquote, run an ad. And so I wanted it to give me the subsets too, because I knew that if it was only giving me the steps, it would feel too big and too overwhelming. So I asked it to pretend like I've never done this before, give me the sub sub steps so that I, or like something happened to me and somebody on my team needed to take over, be able to take over even if they had never done it before. And so that's kind of was going for that. And so I think it was about 150 tasks in total. I don't know if I'll get to all of them every month. The only way that I possibly could is if I only focused on the parts of my job that are actually my job. So sometimes what I find is that I'll be like, oh, I'll do this other thing real quick here, or uh, I'll focus on things. Don't act, don't actually move the needle forward or don't actually get me closer to my goals. They're just stuff that I've always done or stuff that feels fun or stuff that feels easy. I guess it's usually that more than fun. Um, so looking at it this way though, I really don't have any option except to be super hyper focused because I won't get everything done. And so if you're somebody like me who is task oriented, who likes to mark things off, might be really helpful for you and being able to finally say no to the things that are holding you back, things that are taking your time, but don't actually bring you closer to your goals. And then, of course, at the end, we're also going to ask ChatGPT to review that list, ask it if it's missing anything, if it needs to add or remove anything, and then go from there.
