Rescue the day, the main thing fell through
Standing outside somewhere shut with the day still ahead of you.
The thing I planned is not happening. Work out what I was actually after: the building, the art, being indoors, a view, or just somewhere to be. Tell me what you think it was. Then three replacements, ordered by how close they are to where I am standing. Keep it short, I am on a phone. Say which ones to ring before walking there. Where I am and what fell through:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
During and after the trip. Layovers, days that fall through, what is worth doing nearby, and writing it down afterwards.
