CTRL + CREATE: Plan Your 2026 with ChatGPT

​CTRL + CREATE is a bi‑weekly, free virtual workshop series where we explore tools, systems, and workflows that help you boost your creativity, streamline your work, and build with intention.

​In this session, we’re going beyond the basics to use ChatGPT as a planning partner — not just an answering machine. We’ll break down how to use AI to clarify goals, organize priorities, plan projects, and create a structure you can actually follow in 2026.

​This session is beginner‑friendly — you don’t need to be a tech expert. What you do need is curiosity and a desire to work smarter.

​What You’ll Learn

​In this session, you’ll discover how to:

• ​Use ChatGPT to clarify and articulate your goals for 2026

• ​Break those goals into actionable steps, timelines, and categories

• ​Build content calendars, quarterly plans, and weekly workflows

• ​Turn high‑level ideas into templates you can reuse all year

• ​Use AI to hold space for vision + accountability — not replace your intent

​We’ll go step‑by‑step through real examples, and you’ll walk away with tools you can use immediately.

​This is not advanced tech. This is real life planning with tools that work for you.

​Who This Workshop Is For

​This session is perfect for:

• ​Creators and entrepreneurs ready to organize their next year

• ​Operators and team leads planning ahead
