Section 1
Why generic advice fails
'Wake up at 5am and journal' assumes you didn't close a register at 11pm. Working students need schedules that account for commute, sleep debt, and the difference between 'have time' and 'have energy'.
Prompt
AI as honest planner, not cheerleader.
Build me a weekly time-block schedule.
My reality:
- Job: Tu/Th 4pm-11pm, Sat 9am-5pm (paying job, can't move it)
- Classes: M/W 10am-3pm, F 11am-1pm
- Commute: 45 min each way to campus
- I focus best 8-11am and crash after 9pm
- I need 7 hours sleep or I get sick
- Weekly: 12 hours of homework, 1 hour of laundry, 4 hours of family time
Give me a realistic block schedule. Tell me what's NOT going to fit.
Don't pretend everything fits — be honest about tradeoffs.Key terms in this lesson
