Use ChatGPT to improve your thinking patterns
In this tutorial, you will learn how to break out of circular thinking and generate creative solutions for any business problem by using GPT-5's structured questioning approach to surface blind spots and unlock fresh perspectives.
Step-by-step:
Go to ChatGPT, toggle on GPT-5 in Auto mode, and use this prompt: "I'm trying to [describe your goal or problem], but I'm continuously stuck on the same ideas. Ask enough questions about the problem to find a new approach."
Add context about your current approaches so GPT-5 knows what you're already trying and can push you beyond those solutions
Answer GPT-5's questions across categories like user understanding, product experience, engagement, and analytics to reveal new angles
Review the fresh solutions that emerge from this process and iterate on promising ideas
Pro Tip: Use this workflow for any problem, not just churn. The magic is in how GPT-5 questions you until you hit new thinking pathways for better brainstorming.
