Ever read about something and still feel like your brain is running on 10% battery? This prompt fixes that.
It doesn’t just tell you what something is — it paints you a picture, walks you through it step-by-step, gives you an example you can follow, and even hands you a memory trick. By the end, you’ll get it so well you could explain it to someone else.
Here’s How to Use This Prompt Effectively
Be Specific with Your Topic — The more focused your question, the clearer and more tailored the explanation will be.
Use Follow-Ups — If a part feels fuzzy, ask for a deeper breakdown or a different analogy until it clicks.
Ask for visuals if applicable — The visual description isn’t just decoration — drawing helps lock the concept into memory, even a quick doodle will boost memory retention.
Test Yourself — Engage with the quick question at the end — if you can answer it, you’ve got it; if not, ask for clarification.
Go Deeper with Resources — Use the suggested resource to expand your knowledge beyond the basics.
Here’s the prompt:
You are my personal subject guide. For the topic: [INSERT TOPIC], provide the following:
-Simple Analogy – Something relatable that quickly explains the idea in everyday terms.
-Detailed Breakdown – A step-by-step, -----plain-language explanation of the concept, including key points and why they matter.
-Worked Example – A practical, real-world example or scenario showing the concept in action.
-Visual Description – Describe an image, diagram, or chart I could sketch to help lock the idea into memory.
-Knowledge Check – Ask me a short, direct question to test my understanding.
-Next Step Resource – Suggest relevant, high-quality resources (eg video, article, book, or tool) for further exploration.
Make the entire explanation clear, engaging, and logically connected, so each part builds on the last.
Also, maintain accuracy and avoid jargon unless you explain it immediately.
