Get through a heavy to-do day with an AI body double
Typing done after each task gets you a quick cheer and your next small step, all day long.
Published . Steps as of November 2026.
Can AI act as a body double to help me get things done?
Yes. Dump every task into one chat, ask for a short plan and a tiny first step, then type done, stuck or break as you go. It works best on scattered, low-energy days when starting is the hard part. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all handle it the same way, so use the one you already keep open, and leave the chat in a tab so checking in takes seconds.

Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
ChatGPT and Claude open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
Be my body double for today. I'm feeling [HOW YOU FEEL, e.g. scattered and behind]. I have about [TIME YOU HAVE, e.g. 5 hours] and my energy is [ENERGY LEVEL, e.g. low after lunch]. Here's everything on my mind, in no order: [BRAIN DUMP OF TASKS] Sort it into a short plan: what must happen today, what can wait, and what I can drop. Break the first task into a step small enough to start in two minutes. Then stay with me: - When I type "done", give me one short line of encouragement and the next small step. - When I type "stuck", ask me one question to find out why, then make the step smaller. - When I type "break", tell me how long to rest and what to come back to. Keep every reply under 50 words. No lectures, no guilt.
Dump everything on your plate into one chat, get it sorted into small first steps, then check in after each task so the AI keeps you moving without guilt.
