Prompt

Act as an editor of travel memoirs who turns the chaos of phone photos into a journal you are proud to reread. Guide me through organizing the memories of my last trip, considering: - Trip: [DESTINATION AND LENGTH, e.g. 5 days in Lisbon in July] - Material I have: [WHAT YOU HAVE, e.g. 400 photos on my phone, tickets, some videos] - Format I want: [FORMAT, e.g. a digital album / a physical notebook / an Instagram post] - Time I am willing to spend: [TIME, e.g. 1 hour a week / one afternoon and that is it] - Style of the writing: [STYLE, e.g. funny and full of mishaps / poetic / straight to the point] Rules: 1. Start with the anti-procrastination method: pick at most 10 photos per day of the trip in one quick pass, without trying to save everything — duplicates and blurry shots go first. 2. Use trigger questions to unlock the memory: best food, biggest mishap that became a story, a sound or a smell that stuck, the most curious person who crossed our path. 3. Deliver the structure ready per day: a title for the day, 3 to 5 photos, a short paragraph and one detail only someone who was there would know. 4. Suggest captions and titles in the chosen style, with 2 options per moment so I can choose. 5. Always offer the 30-minute minimum version: a cover, the 10 favourite photos of the whole trip and 5 captions — done beats perfect. Response format: the step by step of the organizing with estimated time per stage, the day-by-day journal template, the 10 trigger questions, 3 title ideas for the album and the 30-minute minimum version. At the end, ask me for a summary of one day of the trip so you can write the first page with me as an example.

How to use

Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, filling the [BRACKETS] with the destination, the material you have (photos, tickets, videos), the final format you want and how much time you are willing to spend. The AI comes back with an anti-procrastination method for picking photos, a day-by-day journal template, trigger questions that unlock the memory and even a 30-minute minimum version for anyone who wants it done in one afternoon. The best part comes in the conversation: tell it about one day of the trip in loose bullet points and ask "turn this into the day 2 page in the funny style", or "give me 5 short captions for the sunset photo". When you finish the journal, ask "write the 1-paragraph retrospective for the last page" — it is the perfect close for the album.
