What they did
After talking with a psychotherapist, the author created Alexa routines: at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. it asks about her mood and water intake and reminds her about lunch; morning and evening it turns on the kettle, lights and vacuum; a single phrase starts a Pomodoro timer.
How it went
She says the routines helped regulate her day.
Good to know
A routine doesn't replace professional care; it works as support.
The prompt
Help me design a daily routine with gentle reminders for [goals, e.g.: drinking water, breaks, meals], between [time] and [time]. Suggest short, kind phrases for each reminder and what time to set each one on my [voice assistant].
