The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me build a morning routine that gets us out of the door on time. Time I must leave: [e.g. 8.10am] Time I get up now: [e.g. 7.15am] Who's getting ready: [e.g. me, a 7-year-old, a 4-year-old] Things that must happen: [e.g. breakfast, packed lunches, dog out, shower] What usually goes wrong: [e.g. lost shoes, arguments over TV, can't find keys] What I'd like if there's time: [e.g. a coffee sitting down] Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Work backwards from my leaving time and give me a timed routine in 5-minute steps, with who does what. 2. Build in a 10-minute buffer and show where it sits. 3. A night-before list of no more than 5 jobs that take pressure off the morning. 4. A "running late" version that gets us out in 15 minutes, with what gets dropped. 5. A short fridge version of the routine, one line per step. If it doesn't fit, tell me what to cut or move to the night before. Don't add jobs I haven't mentioned, apart from the buffer. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
