Organizing Family Life with ChatGPT Projects

Introduction

In ChatGPT Master Prompts for Parents, you built your Family Master Prompt, which gives ChatGPT a strong understanding of your values, tone, and family life.

Now you’ll learn how to put that foundation to work using ChatGPT Projects — an easy way to keep all your conversations, files, and instructions in one organised space.

Think of Projects as your family’s AI workspace: a digital binder where you can store documents, make notes, and have ongoing conversations that build on each other.

This lesson will show you how to:

1. Use file uploads safely to give ChatGPT helpful context.
2. Use the Instructions section to guide and personalise each project.
3. Create and name ongoing chat threads for different family goals.

The most important options in your ChatGPT window for this guide are shown below as they would be on a computer. 

Depending on whether you are using a dark or light theme, your screen may be a different colour, but the controls remain in the same place. Everything in this guide can also be done on a phone or tablet.

The highlighted sections show from left to right:

• Create a new project
• Upload a file (reveal the menu by clicking the ‘+’ icon)
• Add Instructions (reveal the menu by clicking the ‘...’ icon.
