If you’re using ChatGPT to brainstorm, write content, or manage client communications, you’ve probably noticed that conversations can pile up quickly. Without some organization, it’s easy to feel lost in a sea of chat history. The solution? Create categories by renaming conversations.

With a few clicks, you can keep your ChatGPT workspace organized, making it easier to jump back into past ideas or ongoing projects without endless scrolling.

Step 1: Start a New Conversation or Open an Existing One

To begin, either start a new conversation or open one that you frequently use. Think about which categories would help you most. For example, if you often work on blogs, you might open a conversation specifically for “Blog Ideas.”

Step 2: Rename the Conversation

Hover over the conversation, click on the three dots, then choose “Rename.” Give the conversation a name that clearly describes its purpose, like “Email Newsletters” or “Client Responses.”

This step is key for creating a “home” for each type of content, so choose names that are clear and memorable.

Pro Tip: Try sticking to simple, specific names, so you can quickly spot what you need without having to read through each title.

I also LOVE using emojis! At a glance it's so easy to find what you need.

Here's an example how I organized mine:

Step 3: Use Your New Categories to Stay Organized

Now that your ChatGPT conversations are organized by category, you can easily go back to the same one whenever you need to work on that topic.

No more hunting through dozens of conversations—just go straight to the right place and keep working.

And that’s all it takes! By creating specific categories, you’ll make your workspace more organized and cut down on wasted time. This system not only keeps things neat but also helps cut down on the number of conversations, making your ChatGPT history way easier to navigate.
