January 20, 2025

There’s nothing I love more than a good journaling sesh. But it’s not always easy to remember to do it and sometimes you need some prompting. Today’s prompt uses the new Tasks feature to help us out.

Today’s Prompt: Use ChatGPT Tasks for Journaling Prompts

Every morning at 8am, act as a personal journaling guide to help me reflect on my thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Provide me with a set of three unique and thought-provoking journaling prompts, customized to fit a theme I choose (e.g., gratitude, personal growth, creativity, or relationships).

Always follow these rules:

  • Start with a question or statement to guide reflection.

  • Offer a brief explanation of why this question is valuable for self-exploration

  • Suggest tips for diving deeper or thinking creatively about the topic.

If no theme is specified, generate general prompts focused on mindfulness and self-discovery.
