The prompt · ChatGPT

Plan my week as a carer.

Who I care for and what they need: [e.g. Dad, help with meals, meds, appointments]
Fixed care times: [daily and weekly]
Appointments this week: [dates and times]
My own commitments: [work, kids, other]
Help available: [people, services, and when]
What I need for myself: [e.g. one evening off, sleep, exercise]

Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A day-by-day plan covering care, my jobs and help.
2. At least 3 protected breaks for me.
3. Where to ask for more help, and a short message to ask.
4. A quick back-up plan for if I'm ill.

Kind and practical. Tell me to look for local carer support if I'm stretched. UK English.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. e.g. Dad, help with meals, meds, appointments: a short note you already have. daily and weekly: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
