Hi Cecilia. The project areas are on the paid plan I think but you could do something similar by adding this to the top of a normal chat and then adding to that same thread over time. I’m not sure on the limit you can do with one chat but it’s large.
I don't know how to phrase this, but why would one need chatGPT to reflect on life?
I like the process of thinking myself and for an external input, I would rather ask close friends than a system trained on *my* ramblings at night.
Sorry if I sound disrespectful - that is not my intention, I really don't get the point (but then I generally don't get much useful output from chat bots)
No worries. With anything to do with journaling is about finding what works for you.
I’ve tried lots of different approaches because I know journaling is something that will benefit me.
I really struggle to discuss these things with people sometimes and I’ve found bouncing a few ideas with a non judgemental ai has really helped. Just little things as strange times of day.
It certainly won’t work for everyone and it’s certainly not a replacement for humans. Just something else that can help people.
I enjoyed this post, such a practical and thoughtful setup. I’m going to try this journaling process, though I still keep notes active on my phone as well. I have been using ChatGPT in a similar way, not just for journaling but also as a kind of “work assistant.” It helps me brainstorm ideas, draft tricky emails, and prep for meetings. It’s like having an extra pair of hands during the day, boosting clarity and saving time, especially when juggling multiple tasks. Thanks Martin.
Can I do this with the free version of ChatGpT? I only ever use it for writing clean up - punctuation, etc. I would like to use it for more.
Or you could try this

Thank you, Martin. Always worth a crack, right!
