Six errands, one afternoon
Pharmacy, returns, groceries, the bank — and somehow you still drive past the same corner three times. Hand the whole afternoon over first.
The lesson
List every stop and ask for an order. The first pass will be sensible and wrong, because it doesn't know your afternoon: the pharmacy closes at six, the groceries have frozen stuff, the return is next to the bank. Say all of it. Now it sequences the day like someone who's lived it — deadline first, cold stuff last, and the two stops that share a parking lot back to back.

I need to do these errands today: [list them]. Constraints: [closing times, frozen groceries, pickup at 3]. What order should I do them in — and why?
Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — whichever you already use. Fill in the brackets with your real life.
Watch out
It doesn't know your town's traffic or which stores share a parking lot — you do. Treat its order as a draft and fix it with what you know.
