The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me plan around low-energy days. What I need to get done this week: [list] How my energy usually goes: [e.g. better mornings, crash after lunch, unpredictable] What has to happen no matter what: [e.g. school run, meds, one work task] What helps me a bit: [e.g. fresh air, music, short tasks] Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Give me a "minimum day" plan: the 3 smallest things that keep life ticking. 2. A "good day" plan for when I have more energy. 3. A list of 5-minute tasks I can do lying down or sitting. 4. Ways to make tasks easier (prep ahead, batch, ask for help). 5. A kind reminder of what counts as a good day. Gentle, no pressure. This is planning help, not medical advice. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
