5 ChatGPT Commands That Will Make Your Life Easier at Work

Are you tired of repetitive tasks that take up hours of your day? These five smart ChatGPT commands simplify many routines, from writing emails to summarizing meetings, in seconds.


1. Summarize Long Documents

Have you ever looked at a long report or pages of emails and thought, “What’s the summary of this?” This command is exactly for those moments:

“Summarize this document and list the topics covered in bullet points.”

In seconds, you’ll get a clean bullet list capturing the main ideas. Of course, think of these summaries as a starting point, not a final product. ChatGPT might miss some details in complex technical subjects or misinterpret the context. So, always check before sharing externally. Still, this command is a productivity tool that clears a path through the information overload, allowing you to quickly grasp content.


2. Create a Prioritized To-Do List

There are times when to-do lists get out of control. You can organize that chaos with this command:

“Create and sort a to-do list. Highlight the most time-consuming tasks.”

Paste all your tasks here, regardless of close deadlines or small responsibilities, and watch ChatGPT group them by order of importance. You can also ask it to separate tasks by category. Of course, it’s not perfect. It might ask a few extra questions to get the prioritization right. However, it will be surprisingly effective for planning your day. This command doesn’t mean offloading the work to ChatGPT, but using it as a smart assistant to organize your day. It makes a huge difference, especially on busy days when you don’t know where to start.


3. Catch Points You Missed

Have you ever been buried in a project and wondered, “Did I miss something?” Try this command in those moments:

“[Write the project topic here]. List the important topics I should be thinking about regarding this subject.”

This is one of ChatGPT’s least known but most useful features. Using it not for writing or summarizing, but for thinking. When you ask the right questions, you can spot gaps in your plan, catch missing steps, and strengthen your strategic thinking skills. Whether you are preparing a report, planning a social media campaign, or solving a technical problem, ChatGPT lays out the points you might have missed at first glance.


4. Practice Negotiation

ChatGPT is surprisingly successful not just for writing, but also for role-playing practice. If you’re feeling nervous about asking for a salary raise, you can try this command:

“Can you role-play with me so I can rehearse a salary negotiation with my office manager?”

ChatGPT will take on the role of your manager and start a conversation with you. This way, you can test your arguments, prepare for potential objections, and rehearse how to present your accomplishments. You won’t be caught off guard by excuses like budget constraints or performance criteria in a real meeting.

If you want, you can make the scene more realistic by telling ChatGPT to “act like a tough manager.” This method strengthens your communication skills and self-confidence. But remember: ChatGPT doesn’t know your company’s culture or your manager’s personal style. Therefore, the role it takes is only a practice tool.


5. Generate Name Ideas for a Project

Finding a name for a new project, report, or campaign is harder than it looks. If you’re stuck cycling through a few ideas in your head, you can get a creative spark from ChatGPT:

“I’m looking for a name for this project [write project details here]. Can you give me 10 name suggestions?”

The ideas that come in a list can take you in different directions and styles. The trick here is how you write the prompt. Specify what the project is about, its target audience, and the tone you want the names to have. This way, ChatGPT doesn’t just generate names; it becomes a partner that also feeds your own creativity.
