Your Holiday Boundaries Starter Pack (3 ChatGPT Prompts)

Описание: When the holidays start to feel like work, it’s usually a boundaries problem, not a “you” problem.

Here are 3 ChatGPT prompts you can use to protect your time without disappearing on your people:

Prompt 1 – Set your holiday boundaries  
“Act as my holiday boundaries coach for my one-person business.  
Ask me a few questions about:  
– when I want to be fully off,  
– what counts as urgent,  
– what can wait until after the holidays.  
Then turn my answers into:  
1) a clear list of my holiday boundaries for me to keep, and  
2) 2–3 short phrases I can reuse in emails, DMs or posts to explain those boundaries kindly.”

Prompt 2 – Say “no” or “not now” kindly  
“Act as my kind boundary coach.  
I’ll describe a holiday situation where someone is asking for something I can’t take on right now.  
Help me write 2–3 short replies that:  
– thank them for thinking of me,  
– explain my holiday boundaries,  
– offer a clear next step or date after the holidays.”

Prompt 3 – Create an “off switch” ritual  
“Help me design a very small end-of-year ‘off switch’ ritual so I can relax for the holidays.  
I have about 10–15 minutes.  
Suggest:  
1) a 3-step process to close my laptop feeling done enough,  
2) one short reflection or journaling question, and  
3) one simple sentence I can say to myself as a closing line for the year.”

Save these so you don’t have to start from scratch every December.
