Workflow Superchargers with ChatGPT

I use ChatGPT as a force multiplier in my daily workflow.
These are my “superchargers” — the repeatable use cases where AI saves me hours, removes friction, or makes me sharper.

1. Translation of Tone & Context

• Use case: Turning shorthand, lax notes into professional emails, reports, or posts.
• Workflow:
  1. Dump raw stream-of-consciousness into ChatGPT.
  2. Ask for a rewrite for the right audience.
  3. Keep the raw + polished versions side by side.
• Impact: I communicate clearly without losing speed in my thought process.

2. Code Assist & Debugging

• Use case: Writing or refining PHP/JS/React/Next.js snippets.
• Workflow:
  • Provide partial code, logs, or errors.
  • Ask for fixes, patterns, or universalized helpers.
  • Incorporate context (multi-tenant setups, sync plugins, schema migrations).
• Impact: Cuts down trial-and-error and produces cleaner, reusable components.

3. Context Compression & Summarization

• Use case: Offloading large chunks of notes, transcripts, or system logs.
• Workflow:
  • Paste raw content.
  • Ask for themes, groupings, or domain breakdowns.
  • Output: a structured summary that I can archive in Labs.
• Impact: Lets me switch contexts faster without rereading everything.

4. Workflow & System Design

• Use case: Turning rough concepts into structured workflows.
• Workflow:
  • Describe the problem in plain words.
  • Ask for ERDs, JSON schema drafts, or service design workflows.
  • Convert results into Labs entries for reuse.
• Impact: Gives shape to abstract ideas quickly.

5. Daily Reflections & Planning

• Use case: Capturing what happened today, what’s next, and why it matters.
• Workflow:
  • Write freeform daily reflections.
  • Use ChatGPT to format into bullet points, tasks, or a changelog entry.
  • Feed into my knowledge store (Labs, JSON payloads, or client reporting).
• Impact: Keeps me organized and creates a growing history of decisions.

Takeaway

The superchargers all follow the same pattern:

• Raw in → Clear out.
• Capture quickly, refine with AI, and store for reuse.

The biggest win isn’t just speed — it’s consistency: my emails, code, workflows, and notes are all sharpened and stored in a way that builds long-term leverage.
