Practical Prompting 05: Your Journey


Listen Later

Grab your coffee and your passport: this episode shows how GenAI can plan a multi-city European getaway and become the everyday co-pilot you didn’t know you needed.

Act I: Vacation Wizardry

Tabs everywhere, brain in overdrive? Alex demonstrates a repeatable prompt that turns loyalty-point juggling and must-see lists into a polished 10-day itinerary in seconds. Learn the simple role → task → constraints template, the art of micro-iterations, and why you’ll never spreadsheet a trip again.

Act II: The 30-Prompt-a-Day Journey

Follow the progression from “I barely open ChatGPT” to firing off 30+ prompts a day. You’ll hear:

  • Phase 1 – Sporadic: recipes and random dad jokes.
  • Phase 2 – Discovery: “Wait, it can do that?” resume rewrites, SQL assists, meeting agendas.
  • Phase 3 – Habitual: email drafts, stand-up notes, voice-to-prompt workflows, and a five-minute guardrail to stay focused.

Alex shares a habit-stack blueprint and a daily “Ask AI First” trigger that transforms friction points into instant leverage.

Listen, rate, & review: Track your prompts for one week. If you hit 10+ per day, post a screenshot with #PracticalPromptingPodcast and tag @Alex Kalish on LinkedIn. The first 50 listeners get the limited-edition stop-sign “Ask AI First” sticker for your laptop.
