Hey {{ck:_first_name|friend}},
Everyone's obsessing over prompt engineering.
Better prompts.
Longer prompts.
Chain-of-thought prompts.
I did all of it.
And honestly? It helped. A little.
But here's what I kept running into.
With every new chat, ChatGPT forgot everything.
What my business was.
What my goals were.
What my voice was.
I'd spend the first 5 minutes re-explaining myself.
That's not a productivity tool.
It was simply a very forgetful robot.
Here’s how I use Attio to run my day.
Attio is the AI CRM with conversational AI built directly into your workspace. Every morning, Ask Attio handles my prep:
Surfaces insights from calls and conversations across my entire CRM
Update records and create tasks without manual entry
Answers questions about deals, accounts, and customer signals that used to take hours to find
All in seconds. No searching, no switching tabs, no manual updates.
Ready to scale faster?
And so I shifted my approach.
I saw prompts are inputs and memory as infrastructure.
A better prompt is a one-time win.
But a memory system compounds over time.
Prompt engineering gets you in the door.
Memory management keeps you ahead.
You might remember ChatOS from last week's Life OS breakdown.
ChatOS is ChatGPT Projects + Memory. It's my thought sparring partner.
But the real reason it works?
The 4Rs framework. This is how I manage what ChatGPT knows about me.
The 4Rs Framework
🧠 1. Remember — Store it on purpose
Most people let ChatGPT decide what to remember. That's a mistake.
Use the word "remember" as a trigger. It forces ChatGPT to commit that info to memory.
Example prompt: "I'm launching a 7-day LinkedIn course next month. Remember this."
You're not hoping it sticks. You're telling it to.
📥 2. Recall — Pull it back when you need it
Storing memories is only half the job. Retrieval matters just as much.
Use "recall" to pull from ChatGPT's memory database.
Example prompt: "Write my first course email. Recall everything you know about my business."
Suddenly, it's writing for you. Not for a stranger.
🔄 3. Replace — Update what's changed
Your business shifts. Your goals evolve. Old plans get scrapped.
Memories need to keep up. Use "replace" to overwrite outdated information.
Example prompt: "I'm pushing my launch back by one month. Replace the previous deadline."
An edit button for ChatGPT's brain.
🗑️ 4. Remove — Delete what no longer applies
More memories isn't always better. Outdated info creates noise.
Noise creates bad outputs. Use "remove" to clear what no longer fits.
Example prompt: "I'm scrapping the email course entirely. Remove all memories related to it."
A sharp memory beats a full one every time.
Here's why this changes everything.
With the 4Rs, ChatGPT stops being a one-time tool. It becomes a system that compounds.
→ It knows your goals, your voice, your business stage
→ It writes faster — the context is already there
→ It gets better the longer you use it
I have 100+ memories stored across my ChatGPT projects. Health. Business. Relationships. Career. Travel.
Each one knows me differently.
That's not prompt engineering. That's infrastructure.
Start with one project. Feed it context. Use the 4Rs to keep it clean.
You'll feel the difference within a week.
Which ‘R’ will you try first? Hit reply and let me know. I read every single one.
