Prompt template to enter into ChatGPT:

I am hosting a [party type] party for [x number of] guests and need help planning a menu inspired by [x type of] cuisine. The menu must:

Scenario: I am planning to go on holiday and I want a countdown calendar with tips on what to pack, remember to bring and other helpful tips leading up to the holiday.

Prompt template to enter into ChatGPT:

I am going on holiday and need help creating a countdown calendar or schedule for the time leading up to it. My holiday is to [destination] on a [style of holiday] for [x amount of time] [with people and ages joining you if relevant] and I’m leaving on [departure date].
