What This Module Covers
Before ChatGPT can help your art business, it needs to help the rest of your life, because that’s where your painting time disappears. This module starts there.
You’ll put every practice, school event, and appointment in one calendar the whole family can see. You’ll turn the list swirling in your head into a plan you can actually follow, and find the small pockets of time already hiding in your week. Then you’ll hand ChatGPT two of the most repetitive jobs in any household: meal planning and the carpool shuffle.
Every lesson in this module works whether you use a Google calendar, an iPhone calendar, or a paper one on the fridge. Plan on about 45 minutes for the whole module, spread across a week or two.

See Where Your Week Really Goes
Before Lesson 1, try this. Describe a normal weekday the way you’d tell a friend, and let ChatGPT lay it out so you can see it at a glance.

Help me see where my time goes. Here's a normal weekday for me, from waking up to going to bed:
[Walk through a normal weekday, like: up at 4, lunches, school drop-off at 7...]
Please:
1. Lay it out as a simple list of time blocks.
2. Point out two places where I might find 20 minutes for sketching or painting.
3. Keep it short and encouraging.
