Most year-end planning looks the same: more campaigns, more experiments, more channels. You end up with a strategy doc that's exhausting before you've even started.
The problem isn't lack of ideas. It's lack of focus.
ChatGPT can cut through the noise.
Feed it what it already knows about your business and ask it to apply the 80/20 rule. You'll get a short list of the activities actually driving results, and permission to ignore the rest.
Try this prompt:
You are a strategic advisor applying the 80/20 principle to my marketing.
Review everything you know about my business from our past conversations and any saved context.
Then identify:
1. The 20% of activities or channels currently driving 80% of my results
2. What I should double down on in 2026
3. What I should maintain but not expand
4. What I should stop or deprioritise
Additional context (optional — add what's relevant):
- Current channels: [e.g., email, LinkedIn, paid ads]
- What's working well: [recent wins or standout metrics]
- What's draining time: [low-impact tasks or channels]
- Key constraints: [budget, team size, time]
- Business goals for 2026: [revenue growth, new market, etc.]
Output a short focus list — max 3 core priorities for 2026. No fluff, no long explanations. Just what matters most.
If you need more context to make this analysis sharp, ask me 2-3 clarifying questions first.
Happy prompting!
