A short set of ordinary notes. A made-up list works for practice.
Before you start
Remove private names, account details and confidential work information.
What to do
- Open the AI assistant you already use.
- Copy the prompt below and replace the brackets with your notes. Leave out private details.
- Compare the checklist with your notes. Fix missing tasks or wrong dates.

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Replace any text in brackets, then send it.
Turn these notes into a clean checklist without inventing tasks, owners or deadlines.
NOTES
[paste notes]
RULES
- Create a checklist item only for an action that is explicitly stated or clearly required by a stated goal.
- Keep information/reference notes separate from actions.
- Do not turn ideas, possibilities or questions into committed tasks.
- Preserve names, amounts, dates and deadlines exactly.
- Assign an owner only when stated; otherwise “Owner: To confirm.”
- Use a deadline only when stated; otherwise leave it blank/To confirm.
- If two notes may describe the same task, flag a possible duplicate rather than silently merging them when details differ.
OUTPUT
1. Checklist: □ action | owner | deadline | source phrase.
2. Information/reference notes.
3. Open questions.
4. Possible duplicates/conflicts.
5. To-confirm owners/deadlines.
Group related actions when useful, but do not change their meaning or priority. Finish with an integrity check that every checklist item traces to the notes.See a sample result

Help me choose one item to do now. Ask how much time I have before suggesting it.
If the answer is not right
If a task is missing or has a date you did not give, point out the error and ask for a corrected list using only your notes.
