The 'brain warm-up' prompt I use every morning — it takes under 2 minutes

ChatGPT logo on phone .

Most mornings, my brain doesn’t wake up at the same time my body does. Coffee in hand, I’m technically ready to start the day — but mentally, I’m not quite there yet.

Before I scroll, check the news or dive into emails, I start my day with a simple “brain warm-up” prompt. It takes under two minutes, and it’s slipped into my routine the same way Wordle or a quick stretch has for other people — a small habit that helps my brain catch up.

Even better? It works with any chatbot. So whether you're a ChatGPT user, Gemini, Claude or have another favorite, give this a try. Some mornings I’ll use the prompt on a few different chatbots just to mix things up.
