The prompt · ChatGPT

Plan stress buffers into my busy week.

Fixed points: [work, care, deadlines]
What restores me a little: [list]
Sleep reality: [rough]
Signs I'm overloaded: [my words]

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

Then:
1. Buffer slots that fit the real week.
2. Two micro-rests under 10 minutes.
3. What to drop first.
4. When stress looks like I need GP/NHS mental health support, not only buffers.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent diagnoses, doses, calorie targets or treatment plans. This is help with preparation, planning and wording, not medical, diet or treatment advice; check the NHS website, speak to a pharmacist, or contact NHS 111; call 999 if it feels like an emergency. UK English.
