Write this year's birthday messages now and schedule them
You always remember the birthday at 11pm. Write proper messages for the people who matter in one go, and schedule the emails to arrive on the morning.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me write birthday messages for the year ahead, so I can schedule them. People and birthdays: [name, date, how I know them] One thing about each: [e.g. just started a new job, loves running] Tone for each: [warm, jokey, short] Ones I'll send by card instead: [names] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A personal birthday message for each, under 60 words, mentioning the thing I've told you. 2. A subject line for each email. 3. Shorter card versions for the ones I'll post. 4. A list in date order with when to send each. 5. A note to check anything that might change before the day, like a new job or a move. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
A short example
Fill the blanks, then paste. name, date, how I know them: a short note you already have. e.g. just started a new job, loves running: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
