You’re Only One Prompt Away From a Breakthrough (If You Can Find It)

Gary Halbert, a legendary direct response copywriter, once said, “You’re just one sales letter away from changing your life.”

Well, I believe you’re just one prompt away from changing yours—if you know where to look.

I’m not talking about theory here.

Before I moved Words Into Works to Substack, I struggled with organizing my AI prompts. And that surprised me.

You see, I’m a GTD person; I live for order. Yet, my prompts lived in browser tabs, chat logs, screenshots, and scattered Notion pages.

Oftentimes, I’d test a great prompt, capture it for later, and then, two weeks later, mid-task, I’d pause and think, “Where did I put that prompt?”

I’d scroll through Notion, dig through old Slack messages, flip through screenshots—and nothing. The prompt was gone, along with the momentum.

The truth is, a prompt, no matter how powerful, is useless if you can’t find it, trust it, or improve it over time.

I’d catch myself thinking, “If I could just find that one idea, everything would click.” What if I never solved this? How many more breakthroughs would I miss?

I couldn’t keep working this way. I needed a reliable system that would make progress automatic, a place where no good prompt could get lost.

So, I built Prompt OS.

Never Lose a Prompt Again with Prompt OS


PromptOS is a Notion command center for capturing, refining, and applying every prompt you find to ensure you never lose, forget, or waste another breakthrough.

Because I’m convinced the right prompt, placed precisely where you need it, can change everything.

After losing track of too many insights, I wanted a way to give every prompt I find, test, or invent a real home, a clear workflow, and a purpose.

And now, it’s yours to use, too.

Here’s What’s Inside Prompt OS


Grab new prompts the moment inspiration hits. From raw idea to reliable asset, capture, tag, test, and advance each one through a proven workflow.

Never wonder where a prompt came from again. Track every detail—Area, Output, Status, Source—so you can trust each prompt is ready to use.

Keep every prompt in one centralized, filterable Notion database so you can instantly search, sort, and retrieve the exact one when needed.

See what’s changed, what’s working, and what’s next. Every prompt shows its own evolution, so you know which version delivers the best output.

Use “Favorites” and “Area” views to keep top-performing prompts front and center while keeping the rest neatly organized for later use.

Assign each prompt a status—To Test, Testing, or Tested—so you always know what needs work, what’s in progress, and which prompts are ready to use.

I’ve also included a bonus guide sharing how I use Prompt OS in my own workflow—with time-saving shortcuts, and tested strategies you won’t find anywhere else.
