Happy Eid! 🎉 My Spotify DJ chose today to remind me that Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience album is one of the best things an earthling has ever done. So, in respect of that masterpiece, it’ll take you the same amount of time to read this post as it would take you to listen to the outro of “Mirrors.”

💡 1 thing I've learned this week
Buy two of your essential items 👯♂️

If you use a gas cooker, always buy 2 cylinders because gas never gets done at a convenient time.
And when you start using the backup, that’s your cue to get another cylinder.
The same applies to any consumable you love.
It’s [the] oats for me.
I always have an extra pack of oats hidden behind the currently-in-use pack a la supermarket shelf because I don’t want to wake up one morning and find tumbleweed on the shelf where the oats should be.
This suggestion has major financial implications, so I should qualify this by saying “If you can.”
If you can, always get a backup of that thing you love or need, so you never run out.

A prompt for prompts in ChatGPT
If you’ve been hearing a lot about ChatGPT and just want to muzzle the mouth-breathing zealots with a pillow because you don’t get the hype, let’s try something new today.
The power of using ChatGPT is unlocked by asking the right questions. The right prompts.
But what are the right prompts?
It’s tricky.
But lucky for you, there’s a prompt for getting the right prompts (sort of).
Type this prompt into ChatGPT:
I am a [insert your profession] and I am new to using ChatGPT. Can you give me a list of essential ChatGPT prompts that will help [insert your profession] get more done and save time.
This should get you started on saving tons of time at work.
Feel free to send me money for this one 😉.
