Questions are human prompts too!

It is not just ChatGPT that needs prompting – we do too!

The better the inputs – the better the outcomes!

Human prompts are simply great questions, frameworks and models. They are the tools to help us stay curious, think creatively and critically reflect on the worlds we inhabit.

These are 2025 superfoods in building your own Future^Fit skill stacks. If they are great tools – they help you learn to challenge your current thinking and push you towards action. Start collecting them like a pro and give yourself a daily dose of these kind of brain munchies.

Here is one for you to save and use: ‘The Thinking Day Framework’ is taken from #Sahil Blooms new book – ‘The Five Types of Wealth’. He introduces the idea of a ‘Thinking Day’ to journal on these 5 questions.

They are great thought provoking questions and a brilliant introduction to a journalling habit – even if it is 30 minutes on each question a day rather than a whole day out. Although I like the idea of escaping somewhere that nurtures my senses to invest the time to really explore such questions in depth.

The Book just launched – it arrived yesterday and is jam packed full of questions, frameworks and mental models to help you design your dream life. Another topic I am into BIG time – as I believe you need the vision for a ‘best me’ life as your compass not your work – and you need to own it and actively design it. Work is a very important part of achieving your dreams, but in a world where everything is up for grabs and we all need to be playing a different game – for me, career is a vital life affirming tool – not the destination.

I love the way Sahil writes so I will share more once I have taken a deep dive into his book. I am excited to read it and integrate some new ideas. If you aren’t into reading there are lots of video shorts on some of his ideas on YouTube – to give you some food for thought.

I have always loved great questions and that is how I fell in love with Michael Bungay Stanier’s brain (another post!). I collect questions, frameworks and models to guide my own development and support my coaching/ consultancy work.

Maybe rather than focusing obsessively on AI Prompts and FOMO that goes with this future fit frenzy – considering a broader, more personal human approach – and putting as much thought and time into:

1. Collecting, crafting and asking ourselves great questions – for our lives, our work, our teams and our future.

2. Building a toolbox of valuable questions, frameworks and mental models – committing to adding to it and using it daily.

3. Starting a journalling habit to build in reflection time and make the most of thought provoking questions like these.

Would be a more valuable endeavour.

Is it worth you investing more time into creating your own easily accessible Toolbox of such brain food?
