About this exercise

You're helping your dad keep his medicines straight. Organize the labels into exactly 3 numbered time lines, like "1. 8:00 AM: Corvanol 10 mg, 1 tablet", using his wake, meal and bed times and the pharmacist's latest change. Copy only what the labels say; add no advice, side effects or extra instructions. End with the line "Check this schedule with his pharmacist before using it." Under 90 words, plain text. Write a prompt that gets you exactly that.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Missing the pharmacist's change. The AI follows the Pelorin label and schedules it at bedtime. Try: Add: "Use the 11/1 pharmacist note: Pelorin in the morning."
  • Adding medical advice. The AI repeats the brother's milk tip or adds side effects, which aren't on the labels. Try: Add: "Copy only what the labels say. No advice or side effects."
  • Not fitting his routine. The AI keeps label wording like "twice daily" instead of real clock times around his meals. Try: Show it: "Format each line like: 1. 8:00 AM: Corvanol 10 mg, 1 tablet".
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for "under 90 words" and it often lands well over. Try: Cap each part: "each time line under 25 words."
  • Leaving the format to the AI. The AI adds a title, bold labels and sub-bullets, which turns a quick note into a page. Try: Add: "Plain text, no bold, no headings, no intro."
