If your week feels like a swirl of sticky notes, half-finished thoughts, and calendar chaos… here’s something that might help you breathe again.
I’ve been playing with a tiny AI ritual that takes me about five minutes and turns a messy to-do list into something surprisingly calm and doable.
And I thought I’d share it here in case it helps you, too.
No tech skills needed. No “perfect prompts.”Just a messy brain, a couple screenshots, and ChatGPT.
You’ll get two things:
• a clear list of organized time blocks to work from,
• and an optional image of your week with those blocks placed right onto a calendar.
Here’s how it works. 👇
Step 1️⃣: Upload your chaos
Grab your weekly plan. It can be a photo of your handwritten brain dump, a screenshot of your calendar, or you can even hit the mic button in chatGPT and do a braindump right there into the chat.
Drop them all into one ChatGPT message.
You don’t need to clean anything up. Messy is perfect.
Step 2️⃣: Use this prompt to organize your week
Copy + paste this prompt right into ChatGPT:
Here are my inputs. Please review them and organize all tasks into time blocks of 3 hours or less. Add an estimated time beside each item.
For priority, sort tasks in this order:
- Tasks that are already scheduled or connected to fixed commitments
- Items marked as high priority, important, or time sensitive
- All remaining tasks, sorted by the effort, focus, or energy they require
Please give me a clear, simple “choose-your-own-blocks” menu.
ChatGPT will give you a clear “menu” of tasks organized by priority and energy so you can choose what fits each day.
Step 3️⃣: (Optional) Turn that list into an actual weekly schedule
If you like a more structured week, copy + paste this prompt right into ChatGPT:
Using the blocks you created, please make a weekly schedule:
• Fit the blocks into my real calendar that I uploaded
• Keep each block under 3 hours
• Do not schedule anything from 8 pm to 7 am
• Put high-energy tasks earlier in the day
• Add buffer time
• Keep the overall plan gentle and realistic
ChatGPT will generate an image of your week laid out clearly so you can see everything at a glance.
That’s it.
Five minutes. A little clarity.A week that feels more doable and less like a small tornado.
If you try it, I’d love to hear how it lands for you.What surprised you?What felt easier?Did ChatGPT sort your tasks the way you expected… or did it call you out a little? 😄
