This ChatGPT prompt helps you actually finish your tasks

How I finally started getting things done...

Hey, Pieter here, founder of ChatGPT Compass.

Yesterday I shared my Priority Clarity prompt with you - the one that helps you figure out what to do first when you feel overwhelmed.

But I learned something important: knowing what to do isn't enough. You also need to actually do it.

I used to be good at making to-do lists but bad at finishing them. I would start projects with excitement but rarely complete them.

That's when I created what I call the "Action Booster" prompt - a simple ChatGPT tool that helps you stop planning and start doing.

The first time I used it, I finished more important tasks in three days than I had in the two weeks before. Things I kept putting off suddenly got done.

Here's the exact prompt I use:

[ACTION BOOSTER PROMPT]

This prompt helps you:

• Break down vague tasks into clear, simple steps

• Build momentum by starting with quick wins

• Find and fix the real reasons you procrastinate

• Create habits that help you finish what you start

I'm sharing this with you because I know how frustrating it is to know what you should do but still not do it. Most goals fail because we plan but don't act.

Try this prompt today with something important you've been putting off. I think you'll be surprised by how much easier it is to take action when you have the right approach.

If you use it, I'd love to hear what you accomplished. Just reply to this email and let me know.

Tomorrow, I'll show you how to use these ideas across your whole business.

To your success,

Pieter

P.S. The most helpful part is the "block finder" in section 2. Don't skip this - it helps you see exactly what's stopping you from taking action.
