5 ChatGPT Prompts to Supercharge Your New Year's Resolutions

Leverage the power of artificial intelligence to achieve your 2025 goals.

Thanks to the revolutionary and widely popular ChatGPT, we're taking a fresh approach to New Year's resolutions this year.

OpenAI's groundbreaking chatbot is an excellent tool for finding new strategies to help your goals stick. You can start with a general question or objective, but don't hesitate to get incredibly specific. That's when the real magic happens.

Here are five prompts we shared with ChatGPT to help us create a detailed 2025 action plan.

Optimize Your Health and Wellness

Starter prompt: "Generate a budget-friendly weekly meal plan that prioritizes healthy, nutrient-rich foods."

Get specific: Mention any dietary restrictions or allergies, request protein-heavy suggestions, or ask for recipes that utilize the pantry staples you already have, like chickpeas. Then have ChatGPT transform the plan into an organized grocery list by aisle.

Quick tip: Looking to spice up your meal rotation with international flavors? Try asking ChatGPT for beginner-friendly recipes from cuisines like Southeast Asian or Latin American.

Master Your Personal Finances

Starter prompt: "Provide the best strategies for saving up for a major purchase."

Get specific: If you feel comfortable, share details like your monthly expenses, income, and outstanding debts. And be sure to mention any indulgences you're not willing to give up, such as your sweet treat or skincare budget.

Quick tip: Tackling your finances together with a partner? Share the link to ChatGPT's personalized recommendation so you can both stay on the same page.

Develop a Foolproof Accountability System

Starter prompt: "I want to stay on top of my tasks this year. What's an effective morning and evening routine I can follow?"

Get specific: Provide ChatGPT with details about your commute, weekly commitments, and any other scheduling constraints that might make it challenging to hit your goals, like 10,000 steps or 10 minutes of daily meditation. The chatbot can then present its suggestions in a handy table to help you track your progress.

Quick tip: Only want to do your Friday morning stretching routine? Let ChatGPT know, and it'll adjust the table accordingly.

Reignite Your Passion for Learning

Starter prompt: "I want to rekindle my love of art history this year. How do I stay focused and engaged?"

Get specific: This approach works for any learning topic, from Japanese textiles to the Dada movement. Ask ChatGPT to create a weekly (or monthly) plan that incorporates articles, books, and documentaries, as well as thought-provoking study questions. Utilize the app's voice feature to have real-time Q&A sessions and deepen your knowledge - it's like having a personalized tutor!

Quick tip: If the initial plan doesn't feel quite right, you can touch and hold it, then select "Regenerate" to see a new one.

Streamline Your Digital Life

Starter prompt: "I'm drowning in emails and random screenshots. Do you have any advice on how to organize my digital life?"

Get specific: Refine your prompt to focus on file, photo, or email management. The chatbot can help you develop effective naming conventions to separate your work and personal files, or it can suggest the best ways to unsubscribe from unwanted mailing lists in bulk.

Quick tip: Get proactive too! To maintain your digital organization, ask for archiving strategies for all the folders on your desktop, or request tips for keeping an "inbox zero" mindset.
