Use ChatGPT as a daily planning buddy

Quick answer: ChatGPT can act as a planning buddy for everyday organising: a 5-minute morning check-in and an end-of-day wrap-up. It is not a replacement for professional support, but it's great for structure.

The problem

You do better with someone checking in, but you don't have a person available every morning.

Copy, paste, go

Morning check-in

Be my planning buddy. Ask me, one at a time: how much energy I have (1-5), my fixed commitments today, and my top 3 tasks. Then suggest a simple plan for the day with breaks.

Evening wrap-up

Ask me what I got done today, what's carrying over, and one thing that went well. Then write tomorrow's top 3 in one line.
