Try it yourself

Write a clear, friendly email

Plan a week of simple meals

"Plan a simple 7-day dinner plan for one busy adult. I have about 20 minutes to cook each night and I prefer easy, healthy meals. Create a list of dinners for each day and a combined shopping list at the end."

Organise a busy week

"Turn this messy list into a clear weekly schedule with priorities and time blocks. I work 9–5, Monday to Friday. Tasks: [answer emails, finish report, 3 x 30-minute workouts, call my parents, clean the apartment, plan meals, 2 hours learning about AI]. Make it realistic and not too packed."
