ChatGPT Work for Everyday Life
Plan a barbecue while learning ChatGPT Work. Turn everyday notes into a menu, shopping list, simple budget, schedule and invitation draft, then check and improve the result.
A practical place to start.
Learn to turn everyday notes into a finished plan you can use. This beginner class is for everyday people who want help completing personal tasks. We will plan a barbecue together using fictional notes supplied in class. You will ask ChatGPT Work to organize the food, shopping, cost and timing into one easy-to-use plan, then check important details and update it when the budget changes. The class moves one step at a time: watch a short demonstration, try the step, then pause for questions. You will leave with a reviewed practice plan and instructions you can reuse for a birthday gathering, family outing, busy week or another task at home. Your materials include a syllabus, setup guide, fillable workbook, fictional practice files, copyable prompts, original and revised examples, lesson slides, quick reference, review checklist and optional everyday practice. The two-hour event includes a 90-minute guided workshop, setup help and extra questions. Attend online or in person at COhatch Lakeland. The barbecue is a fictional planning exercise; no meal is included.
