New to this? What's a prompt?

A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

Prompt

Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

Here is everything on my mind for tomorrow: work deadlines, kids' practices, dinner, laundry, emails and the little tasks I am afraid I will forget. Turn this into an ordered plan, mark what can slip, and keep it short enough to follow when I am tired.

Try this in:

ChatGPT Used in sourceGemini Grok Claude

Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini and Claude open empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.

Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

These links are only a shortcut. We're not affiliated with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic or xAI, and your results may not match the source.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Turn a nightly brain dump into a realistic tomorrow plan.

Questions to ask me first:
- What are hard deadlines vs flexible chores?
- Kids' fixed commitments?
- How many focus hours do I actually have?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Brain dump: [TEXT]
- Hard deadlines: [LIST]
- Kids' schedule: [LIST]
- Energy: [LOW / MEDIUM]

Rules:
- Order by immovable times first.
- Explicitly park low-priority items.
- Keep the plan short.
- No guilt lectures.

Checkpoint: Reflect the top three must-dos before the full list.

If you get stuck: If the dump is longer than I can do in one day, cut ruthlessly and say what moved.

Verify before you finish: Every hard deadline appears on the plan.

Output: A short ordered plan with a parking lot.

Done when: I can sleep and start tomorrow without replaying the list.

Outcome

Hope Denton, a mom of three (ages 6, 13 and 15) juggling remote writing, photography, freelance and volunteer work, brain-dumps into ChatGPT every night instead of lying awake bouncing between deadlines, practices, dinner, laundry and email. ChatGPT helps sequence the next day and marks what can wait. Denton has also used ChatGPT to plan a week-long Arizona road trip. Denton told Business Insider it is less about outsourcing the work than giving the brain room to take the first step.
