Use Memory Carefully

Memory can personalize responses, but you should control what ChatGPT remembers.

Best way to use it:

• Store durable preferences only.
• Avoid sensitive secrets.
• Review or update memories when your workflow changes.

Copy-ready prompt:

Suggest which preferences from this workflow are worth remembering and which should stay temporary: [workflow/preferences].

Quality check:

• Only durable preferences are saved.
• Sensitive details are excluded.
• Temporary project facts are not over-generalized.

DropTicks note:

Use ChatGPT like a workstation, not a magic answer box. Give it the role, goal, input material, constraints, expected output format, and review criteria. The stronger your workflow, the better the result.
