Battery Drained, Kids Loud, AI On Deck
Hey Papa, This week’s AI tricks include figuring out what’s actually worth your time, answering your kid’s impossible questions without sounding like a textbook, and taking your weekend project game up a notch. Let’s get to it. |

THE PROBLEM:
You’ve got a million things to do, but can’t decide what actually matters today vs. what can wait — and suddenly it’s 4pm and you’re organizing your tool drawer.
THE AI FIX:
Prompt: "Here’s everything I need to do today. Sort it into 3 buckets: must-do, nice-to-do, and can-wait. Keep it short, no fluff, and call me out if I’m avoiding something important."
WHY IT WORKS:
- Makes procrastination painfully obvious
- Turns chaos into a game plan in seconds
- You’ll stop tinkering and start tackling
PRO TIP:
Ask ChatGPT: “Now tell me which of these I can delegate to my kid, even if it’s just symbolic.” Because being productive *and* teaching responsibility is a double win.

THE PROBLEM:
You finally have a weekend free and the garage is calling your name — but you're not sure what to build that won’t turn into a 3-week project or a total waste of plywood.
THE AI FIX:
Prompt: "Give me 3 weekend woodworking projects for a beginner with limited tools and kids around. Include materials, steps, and how likely I am to actually finish it."
YOU’LL GET:
- Project ideas that won’t destroy your weekend or your sanity
- Clear instructions with dad-friendly time estimates
- Ways to include the kids without them stealing the drill
PRO TIP:
Follow up with: "Now turn this into a social media post bragging about what I built." Because you earned that humble flex.

THE KID CHALLENGE:
Your kid just asked why planes don’t flap their wings, how the cloud stores photos, or what gravity actually is—and you’re out of clever answers.
YOUR AI LIFELINE:
Prompt: “Answer this like I’m a dad trying to sound smart but also funny: [insert weird question here]. Keep it short, simple, and cool enough to hold a kid’s attention.”
WHY IT WORKS:
- Makes you sound way smarter than you feel
- Keeps the curiosity convo alive
- Turns “IDK, Google it” into “Let’s figure it out together”
“My daughter now thinks I’m a certified rocket scientist. She also thinks the moon is a space egg. We’re both happy.” |
|
THE PROMPT:
Ask ChatGPT: "Build me a Father’s Day trivia game that mixes classic dad jokes, random sports facts, and practical dad wisdom. Make it short, funny, and something I can read out loud after dinner."
WHAT YOU GET:
- A quiz that lets you flex your obscure dad knowledge
- Laughter from the kids — or at least eye rolls
- An excuse to hold a microphone (real or wooden spoon)
PRO TIP:
Turn it into a team competition: kids vs. dad. Loser does dishes. Now it’s a holiday.
