The New Productivity
Revolution
Dear Asian Efficiency reader,
It all started when I first heard about ChatGPT in late 2022. Like many, I was skeptical.
How could an AI really help with everyday tasks?
Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to give it a try. The results were
astonishing.
ChatGPT's capabilities blew me away, transforming how I approached both work and
personal life. Since that moment of revelation, I have spent hundreds of hours exploring
and refining the use of ChatGPT. This booklet contains some of the most commonly
used prompts and includes a few that are taught inside the 4-Day AI Sprint course by
Asian Efficiency.
Adapting Through the Ages
Change has always been a constant in our lives, driven by the march of progress and
innovation. During the First Industrial Revolution, people transitioned from farms to
factories, adapting from agricultural work to roles in textile mills.
The Second Industrial Revolution brought electricity and mass production, creating a
new wave of office jobs and a shift in skills from manual labor to clerical work. With the
advent of computers and the internet in the Third Industrial Revolution, we witnessed the
rise of the digital age, where knowledge workers became the new norm.

intelligence and automation. Just as our ancestors learned to operate looms,
typewriters, and computers, we must now learn to harness the power of AI. Prompt

productive.

The Power of Iteration
The real power of using ChatGPT comes from iteration. Most people stop after the first
prompt, but the true value is unlocked through follow up prompts.
Often, it takes 3-5 prompts to refine the response and get exactly what you need. By
continuing the conversation, you can guide ChatGPT to provide more precise and useful
outputs.
Think of prompt engineering, the technical term used to describe you interacting with a
AI chatbot, as a conversation you’re having with someone. It goes back and forth
between you two. It’s not a one-way street.
By adopting this mindset and being curious, you’ll find yourself oftentimes going down
rabbit holes and learning new things by continuously prompting further. This is a good
thing! The one time going down rabbit holes with ChatGPT is actually a good,
productive thing to do.
I encourage you to do so. That’s how I spent hundreds of hours in ChatGPT and learned
how to use AI for leverage, automation, and winning back dozens of hours a week.
Sample ChatGPT Interaction
Below is an example interaction between me and ChatGPT. Let’s say I want to eat more
healthy snacks at work. I started by asking it to give me some ideas and then I kept
refining it until it met my needs. Notice how I kept being curious and asking follow up
questions.

Sample ChatGPT Interaction
Thanh: Generate a list of healthy snacks to keep at the office.
ChatGPT: Here are some healthy snack ideas for the office:
1. Fresh fruit (apples, bananas, berries)
2. Mixed nuts
3. Greek yogurt
4. Hummus and veggie sticks
5. Rice cakes with avocado.
Thanh: Can you suggest some snacks that are high in protein?
ChatGPT: Sure! Here are some high-protein snacks:
1. Hard-boiled eggs
2. Edamame
3. Cottage cheese with fruit
4. Protein bars
5. Turkey or chicken slices.
Thanh: What are some portable high-protein snacks that don't require refrigeration?
ChatGPT: Portable high-protein snacks that don't require refrigeration include:
1. Beef jerky
2. Nuts and seeds
3. Roasted chickpeas
4. Protein powder (to mix with water)
5. Canned tuna packets.

Sample ChatGPT Interaction
(Continued from previous page.)
Thanh: Can you provide options that are also low in carbs?
ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are some low-carb, high-protein snacks:
1. Beef jerky
2. Almonds
3. Pumpkin seeds
4. Canned tuna in water
5. Protein bars with low carbs.
Thanh: What are some vegetarian options for this list?
ChatGPT: Vegetarian, low-carb, high-protein snacks include:
1. Roasted chickpeas
2. Pumpkin seeds
3. Almonds
4. Edamame
5. Protein bars made from plant-based protein.
By following up with specific, targeted prompts, you can guide ChatGPT to provide the
most relevant and tailored information, making sure that you get the best possible
results.
Notice how it take multiple follow up prompts to eventually get the answer I was looking
for (in this case, vegetarian, low-carb and high protein snacks). I encourage you to adopt
a “3 minimum prompts” guideline anytime you interact with ChatGPT. If you don’t use
at minimum three prompts, you’re probably not using it effectively.
