You're Using ChatGPT 5 Wrong
"If you've been using ChatGPT for a while, you might read the title of this article and think, "Heh, I've been using ChatGPT for years, there can't be anything new for me here." But I've done my best to dig a little deeper and share 3 insights that often surprise even experienced ChatGPT users."
"You prompt the tool to provide an answer to the question you have, then evaluate the output and submit follow-up questions that clarify the original prompt. And there is nothing wrong with this approach: you likely get the desired outcome after a couple of iterations."
"But this approach is not very effective when you want to streamline interaction with ChatGPT, especially when you use it for the same very task over or and over again (i.e., you conduct market research for your product every quarter). In this case, you can apply Reverse prompting technique."
Three practical techniques improve ChatGPT usage and surface deeper efficiencies. Reverse prompting creates standardized prompts and workflows for recurring tasks. The common workflow prompts the model, evaluates output, then submits follow-ups to clarify prompts. That iterative approach yields desired outcomes after several rounds but can be slow and inconsistent for repeated work. Reverse prompting flips the process by designing prompts and expected outputs in advance so the model produces the desired result with fewer iterations. Reverse prompting proves valuable for routine tasks like quarterly market research, where consistency and speed matter. Practicing reverse prompting reduces repeated effort and increases reliability of outputs.
