Two ChatGPT personalizations you need right now.
I don’t know about you, but I used to get so annoyed re-typing ChatGPT’s own suggestions back at it. You know when it asks what you want to do next and gives you a list? It always felt so clunky. But I found two super simple custom instructions that are an absolute game-changer.
These are tiny tweaks you set up once, and they make every conversation smoother. The original poster shared their favorites, and they are just brilliant.
✨ The Two Must-Have Hacks
📌 Force Numbered Options. Tell ChatGPT to always number the choices it gives you at the end of a response. That way, you can just reply with “1” or “2” instead of typing out the whole command. It’s a massive time-saver!
📌 Ban the Em Dash (—). This one is for getting cleaner, more direct text. The instruction is simple: “Never use the em dash symbol (—). Replace all em dashes with commas (,).” It makes the output feel way less formal and much easier to read.
It’s awesome how these two little personalizations can make such a huge difference in your workflow. They’re simple, effective, and save a ton of frustration.
