Happy Holidays and festive greetings, powered by ChatGPT, Midjourney and a little bit of Photoshop.

Utilizing my Custom GPT for Midjourney prompts (open source on GitHub), I generated the image and some subtle variations in three rounds. Finally touching it up with a tagline in Photopea.

Initial prompt:

A whimsical watercolor Illustration of a teddy bear wearing a Christmas hat, handing over a present

Custom GPT generated prompt:

A playful watercolor illustration, featuring a small, round teddy bear in a plush, red Christmas hat, giving a gift box wrapped in shiny, colorful paper. The style should be whimsical and charming, akin to Beatrix Potter's illustrations, focusing on delicate details and soft, dreamy textures. Lighting should be gentle and diffused, giving a morning-like Christmas glow. The color palette includes warm, muted tones, with splashes of bright red and green for the hat and gift, respectively. The composition is close-up, focusing on the teddy bear's expression and the detail of the present in its paws.

Final adjustmets and the addition of text were done using Photopea.com.

Address Custom GPTs as "you"

Custom GPTs

You should address your Custom GPT as "you" while giving it instructions.

DO: you are an expert in XYZ that helps users by…

DO NOT: I am an expert in XYZ and help my users by…

DO NOT: Act as an expert in XYZ and help users by…

The why

The initial instruction set to Custom GPTs starts with (Dec 2023):

Give your Custom GPT a goal

Custom GPTs
Custom GPTs

GPTs expect to be given a goal. You will get the most out of a Custom GPT by providing it with one.

Do this

An easy way to leverage this is to include a section in your prompt that looks a bit like this:

## Goals

- Goal 1 explained
- Goal 2 explained

The why

The initial instruction set to Custom GPTs starts with (Dec 2023):

Daily Note navigation in Obsidian using Dataview

Navigation between daily notes in Obsidian
Navigation between daily notes in Obsidian

Daily notes in Obsidian are ephemeral, they matter most for the day there were written and maybe the days surrounding them. But, after a week, we hardly ever refer back to them. If something truly mattered, we probably pulled it out to another note.

That being said, I often find myself wanting to refer to yesterdays note. And Obsidian doesn't provide a native way to get to yesterdays note. My current solution to this is to add links to the last and next daily note into every daily note via a template.
