Real-life prompts that go way beyond work, from sleep to date night
After I shared my list of the best AI prompts for work, the comments poured in. “OK, Kim, but what about real life?”
What, my work life isn’t real enough for you? Kidding, great question! You know AI can plan a trip and meals or write a to-do list. But let’s go beyond that.
Here are some powerful, personal prompts to ask ChatGPT, Gemini or your favorite AI assistant. PSA: If you don’t want AI saving your chats or using them other ways, sign up and ask using a burner email address.
💭 For when you’re stuck
You don’t need a scented candle to dive deeper.
- “Ask me questions to figure out what’s stressing me out.”
- “Give me a plan to break a bad habit.”
- “I’m in a rut. Help me brainstorm five things for more energy and joy.”
Bonus: Use Scheduled ChatGPT Tasks to have it check in with you weekly. Boom! Robot accountability buddy.
❤️ For your people
AI can be surprisingly thoughtful when it comes to people you love.
- “How can I support my anxious teen without being a helicopter parent?”
- “Help me write a kind message to a friend I’ve drifted from.”
- “Create a no-screens weekend plan for family laughs.”
Bonus: Plan a night for a fun game you haven’t played yet, and suggest on-brand snack recipes.
😏 For love, flirts and deep convos
You’re married. You’ve talked about the grocery list 74 times this week.
- “Fresh date night questions that aren’t about kids or bills.”
- “Flirty texts that are cute, not cringey.”
- “A memory game we can play over dinner.”
Bonus: Use AI to suggest bedroom ideas.
🧘♀️ For mind + body
Because we all want to feel better, not just do more.
- “Build a routine that helps me wind down and get to sleep.”
- “Help me deal with the death of someone I love.” I was missing my mom and AI’s answer really made me feel better.
- “What’s one small shift I can try to feel more in control?”
Just a thought: AI has never touched grass, but it gives surprisingly good life advice.
🎉 For funsies
Let’s not forget this thing is basically your creative sidekick.
- “Write a funny poem about my dog’s obsession with socks.”
- “Give me gift suggestions for my [who] that likes [what].”
- “What are three bucket-list ideas I can pull off this year?”
Side quest: Ask it to roast you like a best friend who knows your Amazon order history. It’s weirdly therapeutic.
Whatever you do, be honest, be specific and treat AI like a best friend. You’ll be surprised what it can help with. Speaking of … Jamie in Atlanta sent me this one: Kim, my wife gives sound advice. It’s 99% sound, 1% advice. Ouch.
