Happy Monday!

The biggest mystery in AI this week was not a new model or a leaked memo. It was punctuation.

After months of complaints, memes, and desperate pleas from writers everywhere, OpenAI says ChatGPT has finally learned to chill with the em dash. The company admitted the quirk had stumped them for a while, even when users begged the bot to stop.

Sam Altman called the fix a small but happy win. And honestly, it is. The internet gets cleaner copy, students lose one of their biggest tells, and the em dash can finally rest. For now.

Finally, I've got a fresh new prompt for you to dive into this week. Happy exploring!

PROMPT: Act as a productivity coach and teach me how to master time-blocking effectively. Start by explaining the core principles of time-blocking and why it improves focus and output. Then, help me design a personalized daily schedule using focused time blocks.

Show me how to:

Categorize my work into different types of tasks — for example: deep work (strategy, writing, coding), shallow work (emails, meetings), and personal tasks (breaks, exercise, learning).

Allocate specific time blocks for each category, with real-world examples of how a sample day could look.

Prioritize tasks inside these blocks so that the most important work gets done first.

Handle unexpected interruptions, meetings, or mental fatigue without breaking the flow of my day.

End the day with a short reflection or planning block to improve tomorrow’s schedule.

Make your answer actionable, visual, and easy to follow — include sample time slots, block lengths, and tips for staying consistent over time.
