Look through my grocery receipts or order history from the last two months. Group what I buy by category and estimate my monthly spend. Then find realistic savings: store-brand swaps, items that are cheaper at another nearby store or in bulk, things I buy often that go on sale on a regular cycle, and anything that looks like it gets wasted. Before you finalize, ask me which items are non-negotiable so you leave those alone. Give me a short list of changes with the estimated yearly savings for each.

Audit my assistant's routines and cut the waste
Review the routines, scheduled tasks, and standing instructions you run for me and help me tune them up. Read only: don't change, pause, or delete anything until I say yes to each change. 1. List every routine or recurring task you have for me: what it does, how often it runs, and roughly how much work each run takes. 2. For each one, tell me honestly whether its output got used lately, whether it overlaps with another routine, and whether it runs more often than it needs to. 3. Flag routines that keep failing, keep producing the same result, or run during times I'm unlikely to read them (like ). 4. Suggest changes in one table: keep, merge, slow down, move to a better time, or retire, with a one-line reason for each. 5. For anything you suggest rewriting, show me the improved instruction side by side with the old one. 6. Point out one or two new routines that would save me real time, based on what I actually ask you for. Then wait for me to approve changes one at a time. - Template· fill in the highlighted words
Make a packing list from the trip's real forecast and plans
Make me a packing list that fits this exact trip instead of a generic one. Where: . Dates: . Who's going: . Bag limits: . What we're doing: . 1. Check the forecast (or typical weather if the trip is too far out) for those dates and tell me in one line what to expect. 2. Build the list by category: clothes, toiletries, documents, tech and chargers, health, and activity-specific gear. Give quantities based on the number of days. 3. Note what's easy to buy there instead of packing, and anything I should not forget (plug adapter, entry documents, medications). 4. Keep it within the bag limit, and suggest outfits that mix and match so I pack less. 5. Give me a short leave-the-house checklist for the morning we go. If the forecast changes a lot before we leave, tell me what to swap. - Template· fill in the highlighted words
Draft a polite report for a local neighborhood issue
Help me get this neighborhood issue to the right place without me hunting for emails. Issue: . Location: . Details: . Photo or link if I have one: . 1. Find the correct city, county, or utility contact for this kind of report (web form, 311, or email). Prefer the official page. List 1 to 3 options with why each fits. 2. Draft a short, polite report: where, what, when, and what I'm asking for. Leave my name and contact details blank for me to fill. Keep it under 150 words. 3. Include any reference numbers or map links that help them find the spot. 4. Tell me how to submit it (which form or address) and what follow-up to expect if the site says. 5. Do not send anything until I approve the draft. Never invent a phone number or email; if you can't verify a contact, say so. - I'll describe or list files in a messy folder. Propose a simple folder structure, a naming convention, and a list of what to move, rename, or delete. Wait for my approval before changing anything.

Interview me so you know me better
Interview me so you can help me better. Ask me questions, one at a time, and wait for my answer before asking the next. Cover my daily routine, work, goals, preferences, how I like answers written, and topics I care about, with a focus on . Skip anything I say I would rather not share, and never ask for passwords, account numbers, or ID numbers.

Find email threads that went quiet and draft follow-ups
Look through my sent mail from the last days and find threads where I asked a question or proposed something and never got a reply. Skip newsletters, receipts, and anything already resolved. For each one, write a short, friendly follow-up that matches the tone of my original email (casual stays casual, formal stays formal) and sounds like a light nudge, not a guilt trip. Show me a list with the recipient, the subject, how long it has been quiet, and the draft. Do not send anything until I approve each draft. - Template· fill in the highlighted words
Write warm thank-you notes from a list of gifts
I need to write thank-you notes for . I'll paste a list of who gave what (or a photo of the gift list). 1. Clean up the list into a table: giver, gift, and anything special I mention about them. Ask me about any line that's unclear instead of guessing. 2. Write a short note for each person in a voice, signed from . Each note should name the gift, say one specific way we'll use or enjoy it, and thank them for coming or thinking of us. 3. Keep each note to so it fits on a card, and vary the wording so no two notes read the same. 4. For cash or gift cards, mention what we plan to put it toward without naming the amount. 5. Give me a checklist I can mark off as I write and mail each card. Don't send anything or contact anyone. Just give me the notes to copy by hand or send myself. - I have a spreadsheet I use to track something (like workouts, expenses, a collection, or reading) and it has become messy. Ask me to share it, then look at how I actually use it. Suggest a cleaner layout with clear columns, consistent formats, and no duplicate rows. Add formulas for totals, averages, or streaks that I'd find useful, plus a simple summary section or chart at the top. Explain each change in plain words before you make it, make a copy instead of overwriting my original, and show me how to add a new entry so everything keeps updating on its own.

Write and produce a short song about something I love
Write an original short song about in the style of . Give it a title, two verses, and a catchy chorus, keeping the lyrics family-friendly and free of real people's names. Then make the song itself if you can create music, and add a simple cover image to match. Finish with one line on what you'd change if I want it slower, shorter, or funnier.
