How to build a ChatGPT workflow you will reuse
A workflow is a named sequence with inputs and a done state — not a folder of random prompts. Start with four steps and resist adding a fifth until those stick.
- 01
Name the rhythm
Brief (Monday), Capture (meetings), Draft (comms), Close (Friday). Same names every week so the team shares a language.
- 02
Define inputs and outputs
Brief needs messy notes → Top 5. Capture needs raw notes → owners and dates. Draft needs intent + facts → email. Close needs the week → seeds.
- 03
Attach one prompt per step
Store them in the weekly chat or a PDF beside you. Do not hunt Discord tip threads mid-week.
- 04
Review after two weeks
Drop steps nobody ran. Add detail only where you stalled.
