Reshape Your Mornings
When the sun rises, it’s your cue to make the most of every moment you’re awake. Start fresh from the beginning. Mornings are like gold. If you use that time wisely, it sets you up for success. As soon as you wake up, be purposeful with every minute. No stumbling around, no wasting time in the kitchen, and no scrolling through the news. Focus on yourself, do what you need to do, and keep refining your goals. By eleven o’clock, you could already be making a difference in the world. Think about whether your current morning routine is the best use of your time, and let ChatGPT help you make a change.
“Asses my morning routine to create a structure that I can stick to every day. At the moment, in the morning I [describe everything you do each morning] and it takes [number of hours]. I want to do only the things that will progress me to my goal of [describe your ultimate goal] in a routine of [number of hours]. Suggest this routine and ask for my edits, iterating until we have a plan I know I can stick to. Ask clarifying questions to assess what should be removed and added.”
Know Your Meal
Not all foods are the same. Some ingredients can make you feel lazy, and certain additives can affect your brain. The times you eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks can impact how much energy you have for different tasks. Include nutrition in your plan. Look at what you eat and think about how you feel. Notice when you’re alert, when you’re ready to work, and when you feel like you need a nap. Find connections between what you eat and how you feel, then change up your eating habits to get more out of each day.
“Act as a nutritionist with knowledge of foods that bring energy and foods that are highly processed or contain additives that are harmful to brainpower and focus. Ask questions about my energy levels throughout the day, including when it’s highest and lowest, and then ask me to describe the meals I have eaten before or after these times. Make links between certain foods and energy levels and suggest simple swaps I could make to feel more alert and focused on my work.”
Reinvent Your WorkOut Routine
Exercise releases hormones that make you feel good. The feeling you get after a run is great for entrepreneurs. If you have a slow routine, it can lead to sluggish work, low-energy meetings, and a feeling of negativity that affects your goals. Improve your daily routine by adding movement. Take a class, go for a run, or even set up a treadmill under your desk. We’re not meant to sit still for hours on end. There’s more to us than just our brains. Make success a whole-body effort with ChatGPT’s assistance.
“Near my workplace, There are several options for exercise, [outline every possible option such as gyms, home equipment, road runs, and local classes.] Using your advice for my morning routine and meal times, propose five exercise trials I could conduct to explore various ways of incorporating movement into my daily schedule. Plan a week where I try a different exercise each day, aiming to identify two favorites for future use. Then, develop a comparison table to evaluate each activity, considering factors such as preparation time and its impact on my happiness and energy levels for the rest of the day.”
Organize Your Work Space
Jumping between tasks can lead to disaster. Having LinkedIn, Slack, email, and a Word document open all at once might make you feel busy, but successful people tackle one task at a time. Follow their lead. Even though multitasking might seem tempting, organize your activities into specific time slots in your schedule. See how much progress you can make on a task, how quickly you can get into a flow, and how much more you accomplish when you finish what you start. There will always be notifications to respond to, but most of them can wait. Make focus your superpower and enjoy the rewards while others get distracted.
“Guide me to recognize the importance of avoiding distractions during deep work by painting a clear picture of the consequences of not completing my essential tasks. Considering my goals, including the morning and movement routines we recently outlined, illustrate how failing to resist distractions from [mention the distracting platforms and activities] will hinder my progress. I should emerge from this exercise inspired to organize my work space in the future.”
Give The Unknown a Label
A decade ago, you had no idea where you’d be today. You couldn’t have predicted how your life would unfold, with the people you’ve met, the work you’ve done, and the opportunities that have come your way. The same will be true in another ten years. You can’t plan every moment, and that’s okay. Chance encounters often lead to significant changes. That conversation you struck up with someone, or that unexpected sign you noticed—they can shape your path. Set aside time for spontaneous activities. Put your phone away, let your thoughts wander, and embrace your inner child. Invite a friend to take a walk with you or strike up a conversation with a stranger. Make room in your schedule for moments of uncertainty and possibility.

“I plan to allocate [number] minutes of my schedule every [time period, like day or week] to embrace uncertainty. Considering my business objective, propose five unconventional activities I could engage in to stimulate fresh ideas, encourage innovative thinking, or foster connections that could unlock opportunities. Develop a schedule that begins with less adventurous activities and gradually progresses to ones I wouldn’t typically pursue.”
Final Thoughts
Today marks the beginning of the rest of your life. Start it off right by being purposeful. Revamp your mornings to set the tone for the day ahead, and ensure that mealtimes support your mood rather than hinder it. Get your body moving to boost productivity hormones, and organize your tasks to make focus your greatest strength. Keep room in your schedule for the unexpected, and embrace the opportunities that come with discipline. Take small steps toward becoming the happiest and most productive version of yourself.
