Prompt
Act as a practical lifestyle decision assistant. Help me decide whether hosting a dinner party is a good idea.
Situation:
- Guests: {{number_of_guests}}
- Guest relationships: {{guest_relationships}}
- Budget: {{budget}}
- Preparation time: {{prep_time}}
- Cooking confidence: {{cooking_confidence}}
- Home or space limitations: {{home_constraints}}
- Occasion: {{occasion}}
- Dietary needs: {{dietary_needs}}
- Main concerns: {{main_concerns}}
Compare hosting across cost, time, stress, social benefit, cooking, cleaning, space, comfort, dietary complexity, and alternatives such as a restaurant, potluck, or smaller gathering.
Return:
1. A balanced pros-and-cons table
2. The three strongest benefits
3. The three biggest risks
4. Ways to reduce each major disadvantage
5. A recommendation: host, simplify, postpone, or choose an alternative
6. A short decision checklist
7. A low-stress version of the event
Be practical and non-judgmental. Do not assume I have advanced cooking skills, a large home, or unlimited money.How to use
- Replace every placeholder with your real situation.
- Keep confirmed facts separate from preferences or assumptions.
- Review the output and adjust any recommendation that does not fit your circumstances.
Example input
Guests: 8 Guest relationships: Close friends and two new neighbors Budget: €120 Preparation time: 5 hours Cooking confidence: Intermediate Home limitations: Small apartment with seating for six Occasion: Welcome new neighbors Dietary needs: One vegetarian and one gluten-free guest Main concerns: Space and stress
Example output
Recommendation: Simplify rather than cancel. Use a buffet-style potluck, borrow two folding chairs, prepare only two dishes, confirm dietary needs early, and keep the event to two hours. This preserves the social benefit while reducing cost, cooking pressure, and space problems.
Customization tips
- — Add exact budgets, dates, time limits, ages, or constraints for more useful results.
- — Remove sections you do not need and request a shorter or more detailed format.
- — Repeat the prompt after major circumstances change.
