The Prompt
I often find myself overcome with information overloadāespecially when digesting large blog articles and pieces of text. Using a simple ChatGPT prompt to āplease summarise XYZā is a good foundation, but implementing todayās prompt takes summarisation to another level of clarity.
You can access the prompt directly in ChatGPT here.
āļø1 Insight
A key takeaway from the prompt.
MECE, which stands for āMutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustiveā, is a principle often used in management consulting. Itās designed to organise information into separate parts that don't overlap, yet cover all relevant aspects. I find prompting ChatGPT to leverage this principle is a great method that goes beyond traditional summarisation.
āļø1 Action
Take the prompt one step further.
Try out the MECE principle using the next interesting article you come across. I find great applications using this prompt when researchingāespecially complex concepts that would otherwise take me a lot of time to get my head around. Copy and paste the long-form text into ChatGPT and get immediate actionable insights.
Even if these prompts arenāt relevant to you right now, let them serve as a benchmark of inspiration for you to turn back to when the time is right.
See you Sunday,
Alex Banks
