The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me get next month on one page. Month: [e.g. December] Fixed dates: [appointments, school events, work trips, with dates] Birthdays and occasions: [names and dates] Bills and renewals due: [e.g. car insurance on the 14th, TV licence] Things I'd like to fit in: [e.g. a day out, sorting the loft] Other people's plans that affect mine: [e.g. partner's shifts, kids' clubs] Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. The month as a table, one row per week, with columns for dates, family, money and prep. 2. A clash and crunch list: overloaded weeks, double bookings and money-heavy weeks. 3. For each date, the prep and when to start it (e.g. post a card by the 10th, book the MOT a fortnight ahead). 4. The five things to do this week to get ahead. 5. The free time I've left, shown so I can see it's protected. Only use what I've typed, and leave blanks for any date I haven't given. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
