Tell your AI

First, look for a note called "Mood and energy log" in my Amber Notes with search_notes. If there isn't one, create it with create_note in the folder "Habits", using exactly the markdown at the end of this message, the <!-- pane-table --> line included (it gives the table's columns their types). Then: Use my Amber Notes note "Mood and energy log". Each evening I'll tell you about my day in my own words. Log one row with log_table_row: Mood and Energy from 1 (low) to 5 (great), Sleep in hours, Caffeine as one of the options, and one short line in What happened. If you're unsure about a score, ask me instead of guessing. When I ask about patterns, read the table with read_table and add what you notice under "Patterns" with append_to_note. Don't give medical advice.

Paste it into a chat in ChatGPT with Amber Notes turned on. That chat keeps it; paste it again when you start a new one.

Then just talk to it

  • Today was long but good. Slept 6 hours, two coffees, great lunch with Maja.
  • What do my best days have in common?
  • Does caffeine change my energy the next day?

What you'll get

The same note after a few days of talking to your AI. Tinted lines are what it added, the way Amber Notes shows an AI's changes, with Undo and the earlier version kept in the note's history.
