Get Early AccessSchool starts in two weeks and you have not bought supplies, adjusted bedtimes, or figured out the morning routine. Every August, the same scramble hits. This prompt turns that chaos into a structured countdown plan. Tell it your children's [GRADE_LEVELS], how many [WEEKS_UNTIL] school starts, and what you need most [HELP_NEEDED] with. It builds a week-by-week checklist covering supplies, routines, schedules, and first-day prep.
The output goes beyond a generic shopping list. You get morning and evening routine templates sized to your family's departure time, strategies for shifting sleep schedules gradually, and a prioritized supply checklist so you buy the essentials first. If you have multiple kids with overlapping needs, it accounts for that. Starting kindergarten or switching schools? Add those details and get targeted advice for those transitions.

List each child's grade in [GRADE_LEVELS] and select [WEEKS_UNTIL] to match your actual countdown. Starting early gives you a gentler ramp-up plan. Last minute? The prompt compresses the checklist accordingly.
Choose [HELP_NEEDED] based on what stresses you most. "Complete back-to-school checklist" gives the broadest plan. "Transitioning sleep schedules" zooms in on that one challenge with a day-by-day shift strategy.
Fill in [SPECIAL_CIRCUMSTANCES] for things like new schools, co-parenting handoffs, or IEP meetings. Add your [LOGISTICS] like "leave by 7:15, kids go to after-care until 5:30" for realistic routine templates.
The AI generates a phased plan. Move tasks between weeks if needed. The supply checklist is prioritized, so handle the top items first and save the nice-to-haves for later.
Managing different grade levels, different supply lists, and different start dates gets complicated fast. The prompt consolidates everything into one family plan with per-child sections.
Starting kindergarten comes with a wave of unknowns. Add "starting kindergarten" to [SPECIAL_CIRCUMSTANCES] and get guidance on school readiness, separation anxiety, and what the first week really looks like.
Split households need coordinated routines. Mention co-parenting logistics in [SPECIAL_CIRCUMSTANCES] to get a plan that works across two homes with consistent expectations.
Set [BUDGET] to "tight budget" and the checklist prioritizes essentials, suggests reusable items from last year, and flags which supplies are worth investing in versus buying generic.
