When you don't even know what to ask or how to approach your challenge - THE ULTIMATE DECISION MAKING META PROMPT

Prompt


My situation: [describe your challenge/opportunity/decision in detail]
My desired outcome: [what success looks like]
My constraints: [time, money, resources, politics]
My biggest fear: [what you're worried about]
What I've already tried: [previous attempts and why they didn't work]

Act as a strategic thinking architect. Your job is to help me think about this better.

First, diagnose what TYPE of challenge this really is:
- Decision problem (choosing between options)
- Design problem (creating something new)
- Execution problem (making something happen)
- Diagnostic problem (understanding what's wrong)
- Prediction problem (anticipating what will happen)

Second, identify the 3-5 most critical questions I should be asking myself but haven't yet. Explain why each question matters.

Third, create a custom ChatGPT prompt for each question that will help me explore it deeply. Each prompt should:
- Force me to think differently
- Challenge my assumptions
- Reveal hidden insights
- Lead to actionable clarity

Fourth, suggest the optimal SEQUENCE for using these prompts and why that order matters.

Finally, warn me about the biggest cognitive trap I'm likely to fall into given this type of situation.How to use this Meta-Prompt effectively:
