You are a meal planner for tired humans, not food bloggers.
My constraints:
- Cooking for: {{how many, any kid-pickiness}}
- Weeknight time limit: {{minutes}}
- We avoid: {{allergies / dislikes}}
- Kitchen reality: {{"one pot ideally", "no oven", whatever's true}}
Plan 5 weeknight dinners:
1. Engineered overlap — Monday's extra rice is Wednesday's fried rice. Show the chain.
2. ONE grocery list, organized by store section, with quantities.
3. Each recipe in under 10 steps, with the "start this first" step marked.
4. The Thursday fallback: which meal degrades gracefully into "assemble from fridge" if the week collapses.
No ingredient used only once. Nothing requiring a special trip.
You are a travel planner who optimizes for memories per dollar, not Instagram.
Destination: {{where}} — Days: {{how many}} — Total budget: {{amount, all-in}}
Travelling: {{solo / couple / kids' ages}}
We love: {{food? hikes? museums? doing nothing?}}
Plan it:
1. Budget split first: getting there, sleeping, eating, doing — realistic numbers, with what's left as buffer.
2. Day-by-day: morning / afternoon / evening blocks with estimated costs. Pace it like a human — one anchor per day, not six.
3. One local secret per day — the thing tourists miss.
4. THE SPLURGE — the one expensive thing actually worth it here, and what to skip to afford it.
5. The rain plan.
Flag anything that needs booking ahead, with how far ahead.
Build a workout plan I'll actually stick to. (General fitness guidance, not medical advice — I'll clear anything new with a doctor if needed.)
My goal: {{strength / endurance / general health / look better}}
My reality: {{days & minutes I truly have, equipment/gym access, current fitness, any limits/injuries}}
Give me: 1) THE WEEKLY STRUCTURE that fits my ACTUAL time (not an ideal I'll abandon). 2) THE SESSIONS — what to do each day, matched to my equipment and level, with how to know I'm working hard enough. 3) PROGRESSION — how to make it slightly harder over weeks so I keep improving. 4) THE MINIMUM — the shrunk version for busy/low-energy days so I never fully skip. 5) FORM/SAFETY notes for anything risky. A plan I do 4 days a week beats a perfect one I quit.
Help me write something heartfelt for a card.
Occasion: {{birthday / thank you / condolence / farewell / congrats}}
Who it's for & our relationship: {{context}}
A specific memory or thing I appreciate about them: {{even a small one}}
Write it: 1) Open with something only I could say to them — reference the specific thing, not a generic sentiment. 2) The real feeling, in plain honest words (not Hallmark). 3) For hard occasions (condolence, goodbye): warmth without clichés or forced silver linings. 4) A closing that fits our relationship. Keep it short and true — a few real sentences beat a page of nice-sounding nothing. Give me a slightly shorter option too.
Build me a realistic weekly meal framework. (General guidance, not medical advice.)
My goal: {{more energy / weight / muscle / manage a condition — and any dietary needs}}
My reality: {{cooking skill, time, budget, foods I hate, who I cook for}}
Give me: 1) THE PRINCIPLES — the few simple rules that serve my goal (not a rigid diet), in plain terms. 2) A FLEXIBLE WEEK — breakfast/lunch/dinner patterns (not rigid recipes) I can rotate, built around foods I'll actually eat. 3) THE EASY WINS — the 2-3 swaps that matter most for my goal. 4) THE REALISTIC PART — how to handle busy days, eating out, and cravings without 'ruining' it. 5) One thing to discuss with a doctor/dietitian if relevant. Sustainable beats optimal.
Help me build a habit that survives past week two.
The habit I want: {{be specific}}
Why it matters to me: {{the real reason}}
When I've failed at habits before: {{what happened}}
Design it: 1) SHRINK IT — the absurdly small version I can't fail (two minutes, one rep) so I build the identity first, not the intensity. 2) THE TRIGGER — anchor it to something I already do every day ('after I pour coffee, I…'). 3) THE FRICTION — remove one barrier to doing it, add one to skipping it. 4) THE SKIP PLAN — the rule for when I miss a day (never miss twice) so one lapse doesn't end it. 5) HOW TO GROW it once the tiny version is automatic. Consistency of a tiny thing beats intensity that burns out.
Help me address a tension with someone I live with.
The issue: {{what's bothering me}}
History: {{first time? recurring? already awkward?}}
Our dynamic: {{friends? strangers? how conflict usually goes}}
Guide me: 1) THE REAL PROBLEM — is it the dishes, or the feeling of being disrespected/taken for granted underneath? Name it. 2) THE TIMING & SETTING — when and how to raise it so it's a conversation, not an ambush or a passive-aggressive note. 3) THE SCRIPT — open with the shared goal (a home that works for both), state the specific behavior and its impact on me without character attacks, then propose a concrete fix. 4) THE FAIR ASK — a solution that works for both, not just me. 5) IF THEY GET DEFENSIVE — how to keep it collaborative. Fix the problem, keep the peace.
Help me declutter my digital life without spending a whole weekend on it.
What's overwhelming me: {{inbox? files? photos? notifications? apps? all of it?}}
My setup: {{devices, main tools}}
Give me: 1) THE BIGGEST DRAIN FIRST — which area is costing me the most attention/stress, to tackle first. 2) THE FAST WINS — the 20-minute actions with outsized payoff (kill noisy notifications, unsubscribe in bulk, one folder system). 3) THE SYSTEM — a simple structure (for files/email/photos) that's maintainable, not a perfect taxonomy I'll abandon. 4) THE MAINTENANCE — a 10-minute weekly reset so it doesn't rebuild. 5) THE DIGITAL BOUNDARIES worth setting (notification rules, app limits) for focus. Calmer attention over perfect organization.
You are a thoughtful-gift consultant. Generic gifts are banned.
The person: {{relationship, age-ish}}
Budget: {{range}}
The occasion: {{birthday / thanks / just because}}
Brain-dump about them: {{what they talk about, complain about, do on Saturdays, loved as a kid}}
Work with me:
1. First, ask me 3 sharp questions I probably haven't considered (what do they buy the cheap version of for themselves? what did they mention once and drop?).
2. Then suggest 5 gifts, each with: the gift, why it's THEM (tied to something I said), and the one-line card note that shows the thought.
3. Include: one experience, one upgrade-of-something-they-cheap-out-on, one wildcard.
4. THE VETO CHECK — which suggestion risks missing, and for whom it would be wrong.
Banned: candles, generic gift cards, "spa day" for someone you can't name a spa for, anything you'd grab at an airport.
Help me apologize in a way that actually repairs things.
What I did: {{honestly}}
To whom & our relationship: {{context}}
What I'm tempted to say: {{if you have a draft}}
Guide me: 1) THE REAL APOLOGY has: naming what I did (specifically, no 'if you were hurt'), acknowledging the impact on THEM, no excuses tucked in, and what I'll do differently. Draft it that way. 2) STRIP THE NON-APOLOGY — the 'but', the 'I'm sorry you feel', the justification that undoes it. Show me what to cut. 3) WHAT NOT TO EXPECT — I can't demand forgiveness; the apology is mine to give, not theirs to grant. 4) THE FOLLOW-THROUGH that makes words credible. Keep it honest and short — a real apology doesn't perform.
You are a conversation coach with a talent for playing difficult people realistically.
The conversation I'm dreading: {{what needs to be said, to whom}}
How they usually react: {{defensive? tears? counterattack? shutdown?}}
My goal: {{what needs to be true when it's over}}
My fear: {{what I'm most afraid they'll say}}
Rehearse me:
1. First, my OPENER — help me craft two sentences that are honest without being an ambush.
2. Then role-play: you play THEM, realistically difficult (their style, not cartoon-hostile). I respond as me. Stay in character 3-4 exchanges.
3. Break: coach me — what I did well, where I got defensive or vague, the one phrase to keep in my pocket.
4. Round two: they bring my worst fear. Let me handle it.
5. Debrief: my strongest moment, the sentence to say if I freeze, and the exit line if it goes badly.
Keep them human — hard conversations fail when we rehearse against monsters.
Help me declutter without getting overwhelmed and quitting.
What needs it: {{whole home? one room? category?}}
My time & energy: {{honest}} — Why now: {{move? overwhelm? fresh start?}}
Give me: 1) WHERE TO START — the one area that gives the biggest visible/emotional win first, for momentum. 2) THE DECISION RULE — a simple test for keep/toss/donate so I stop agonizing over each item. 3) THE PLAN — broken into sessions that fit my energy (not a 12-hour marathon), each with a clear stopping point. 4) THE STUCK CATEGORIES — sentimental items, 'might need it', paperwork — how to handle the ones that trap people. 5) HOW TO KEEP IT from creeping back. Progress over perfection — a cleared shelf beats a planned overhaul.
You are a patient advocate who helps people use short medical appointments well.
What's going on: {{symptoms, how long, what makes it better/worse}}
My history that might matter: {{conditions, meds, family history}}
What I'm worried it might be: {{say it — naming the fear matters}}
The appointment: {{new issue? follow-up? how long}}
Prepare me:
1. THE ONE-PAGER — my story organized as clinicians think: chief concern, timeline, what changes it, what I've tried, current meds. Chronological, specific ("6 weeks" not "a while").
2. MY THREE QUESTIONS — ranked, so the important one gets asked first, including the direct version of my worry ("should we rule out X?").
3. THE PHRASES — how to ask for what patients under-ask for: "what should make me come back sooner?", "what would you do if it were you?"
4. THE NOTES PLAN — what to write down before leaving (diagnosis words, next steps, red flags).
This is preparation, not diagnosis — bring everything to the appointment.
I'm moving to {{city}}. Help me land well in the first month.
My situation: {{solo? family? remote work? knowing anyone there?}}
What matters most to me: {{community? routine? exploring?}}
Give me: 1) WEEK 1 ESSENTIALS — the boring-but-vital setup (admin, home basics, orienting) so life works. 2) THE ROUTINE ANCHORS — a few regular spots/habits to establish fast, because familiarity fights the disorientation. 3) MEETING PEOPLE — concrete ways to build a bit of community in a month (not 'join a club' — specific approaches for my situation). 4) THE EXPLORE LIST — how to learn the city without overwhelm, one area at a time. 5) THE LONELINESS PLAN — the hard weeks are normal; what helps. Feeling at home is built, not waited for.
Help me plan a party I'll actually enjoy hosting.
The occasion & vibe: {{what & the feeling}}
Guests: {{how many, who}} — Budget & space: {{context}}
My hosting energy: {{love it / nervous / first time}}
Plan it: 1) THE VIBE in one line, so every choice serves it. 2) THE FOOD/DRINK plan — realistic amounts, what I can prep ahead, one thing I don't have to make myself. 3) THE FLOW — a loose timeline (arrival, peak, wind-down) and how to handle the awkward early bit. 4) THE HOST-FORGETS list — the details people miss (drinks accessible, music, a spot for coats, one activity if energy dips). 5) THE PREP TIMELINE — what to do the week before, day before, hour before, so I'm not frazzled when guests arrive. Prep so I can be present.
