Why I Started Janey’s AI Edit 🦾

AI isn’t just for tech geeks—it’s your Life Coach, Fashion Stylist, Assistant and more. My goal is to make AI practical & actionable for my community.

❄️ Winter Arc is about locking in for the last 3 months for growth and transformation. I saw prompts shared by new ChatGPT users and knew I could help to add value. 🎥 Watch TikTok for more.

🧠 Want your own Winter Arc plan? Steal my exact prompt below👇

🦾 ChatGPT Prompt:
“Act as my Life Coach and Assistant. Help me create a detailed daily schedule for my Winter Arc Transformation Plan for every single day of the week for the last 3 months of 2024 to help me achieve my goals.

My goals are: spiritual [insert goals - repeat this for each category], physical , mental, health, emotional, career, financial, relationships, skincare, style, etc.

• Weekly Structure: Each day should be unique depending on the focus. I want to batch my tasks [i.e. Self-Care Sundays, Filming, Editing, etc]

• Timeframe: Start today [insert date] through Dec 31, 2024.
