👩🏾‍💻 3 AI prompts that changed my life

Published 8 months ago • 4 min read

Hey Upper East Siders!

Maegan here with 3 AI prompts that have changed the game for me in Q4, plus a bonus prompt at the end for astro nerds.

If you're not already using AI to make your life easier, I implore you to start ASAP. Despite the chatter though, I don’t think that AI is going to take your job.

People that know how to effectively use AI are gonna take your job.

And if you're self-employed or a business owner, all the more reason to dive in. You of all people don't have time to waste!

For an easier read and to bookmark these prompts for later, here's a blog.​

Let's dive in!

​

NUTRITION

I’m looking to optimize my nutrition for my blood type. Please create a meal plan considering:

  • Blood type: [insert yours]
  • Key nutrients needed: [specific nutrients]
  • Dietary preferences: [any restrictions/preferences]
  • Activity level:

I don’t want to spend more than 30 minutes making a meal and I hate doing dishes so the more one-pot meals the better!

Please provide:

  1. A 5-day meal plan with recipes optimized for my blood type
  2. Shopping list organized by grocery section
  3. Tips for eating out while maintaining this plan

Thank you so much for your help!

💡 Tip: Be polite. While I love my politesse, I do this so that when the robots take over, they know who was down with them from the beginning. Turns out, since chatbots are modeled after humans, they do give more accurate and favorable responses when you’re polite.

Who knew? (Me. I knew.)

​From Forbes:​

“…research also shows there’s a sweet spot in AI politeness - excessive formality doesn’t yield better results, but professional courtesy consistently does…
​
So, every time you craft a respectful prompt for an AI system, you’re not just optimizing for better results - you’re practicing the kind of thoughtful communication that will set you apart in tomorrow’s workplace.”

​

ACADEMICS

I need your help identifying aligned grad school and doctoral programs. I’m a very selective forever student so prestige matters. I’m so excited to plan my next academic adventure!

I’m obsessed with [field/topic] and need help mapping out graduate programs that would light me up.

Quick facts:

  • Current focus: [field/experience]
  • Dream research areas: [specific interests]
  • Must-haves: [key requirements]
  • Locations to consider: [preferences]

Please put together a list of 5-10 options with a brief description about why you think they’re a fit. Bonus points if there are dual degree options.

Remember, I don’t have time for fluff. Keep your communication to-the-point. When you can, use bullets — it’s easier for my brain to digest info that way. Thank you!

💡 Tip: Tell that mofo how to talk to you! (Some men tell me that I’m intimidating and I’ll never understand why.)

To know me is to know that I don’t have tiiiime for fluff and bullshit. I make this clear not only in how I communicate with the chatbot (and anyone for that matter 🙃), but also I make it explicitly clear in the prompt. This doesn’t mean that they always listen tho.

​

BUSINESS

Hey business coach! I need your help creating a strategic plan to reach [revenue goal] in the next 12 months. I need you to get creative and open my eyes to rev streams that I haven’t even considered yet! Show me the opportunities that I’m missing. I’m a firm believer that you earn more when you do less and I want my income streams to reflect that.

Current revenue streams: [List your current income sources]

Skills & assets: [List your key skills/resources]

Interests: [List what you like doing]

Here’s what I need:

  1. Monthly revenue targets broken down by quarter
  2. Potential new revenue streams based on my skills
  3. Specific action steps for each quarter
  4. Risk assessment and mitigation strategies
  5. Key performance indicators to track progress

💡 Tip: Use different chatbots for different things. A lot of people pay for both Claude and ChatGPT. For me, Claude is unmatched with content and personal insight whereas I prefer ChatGPT for strategic tasks like scheduling and project planning.

​

The trick with these prompts is to provide as much relevant info about yourself as possible. As you can imagine or have experienced, this can get quite tedious over time. Instead, I created my own personal robot, MAEi, that has a database of all things Maegan to reference so I never have to start from the beggining.

I’m so excited to teach you how to create your own MAEi aka life coach/strategist/personal assistant. I’m hosting a workshop on December 14th on how to design your 2025 using your new robot. Come play!

BONUS: ASTROCARTOGRAPHY

First, go to astroclick.com, generate your map, and take a screenshot:

Then, attach your screenshot with this prompt:

Hey cosmic guide! I’ve got my astrocartography map and I need your help making sense of these celestial vibes.

Some places I’ve already explored:

  • Places I instantly loved: [locations]
  • Places that drained me: [locations]
  • Places calling my name: [locations]

Help me understand:

  1. Why did those places I loved feel like home?
  2. What planetary lines were messing with my energy in places that didn’t work?
  3. Where should I go to:
    • Find love
    • Level up my studies
    • Generate cash with ease
    • Get my creative juices flowing

Bonus points if you can spot any surprise locations that would light me up! Thank you!

💡 Tip: Don’t ever trust a chatbot to calculate your big 3 (sun, moon, rising) or anything of the like. I learned that the hard way when building my AstroCompass.

If this is your vibe, there are 2 AstroCompasses left for 2024. It’s basically your cosmic database including insight into your career, purpose, personal growth, environment, abundance, and so much more.

If you try any of these prompts, I’d LOVE to hear how it goes. Reply to this email if you wanna share!
