The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me build a household job rota.

People in the home: [names, ages if kids]
Jobs that need doing weekly: [list]
Jobs that are daily: [list]
Non-negotiables: [e.g. I won't do bins]
What failed before: [optional]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A week rota with names against jobs.
2. A Google Sheets or paper layout.
3. A swap rule when someone's away.
4. A Sunday five-minute reset.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
