👑 BOSS MODE
Girl, Chill
It's June. You've already started making a list called:
"Things I Should Be Doing This Summer."
You want: New workout plan. New morning routine. Three podcasts. Two books. One emotional breakthrough.
Meanwhile your nervous system is asking permission to lie face-down for a week.
This is where AI comes in.
Not to optimize your summer.
But to help you stop negotiating with yourself.
So, tell AI your summer goals and then:
STEAL THIS PROMPT
I think my summer goals list has been contaminated by Instagram. Review my list and sort it into three categories: Actually Me, Aspirational Me, Woman I Saw On TikTok.
Let AI reflect what YOU want.
📣 SPEAK UP
Stop Explaining Your Rest
Ever notice that women announce rest like it's a medical condition?
"I'm trying to recharge."
"I've been laying low."
Meanwhile George Costanza spent an entire summer doing absolutely nothing and reported it with the confidence of a man announcing quarterly earnings.
And this is where AI comes in.
Not to tell you what to do.
To help you feel as confident as your choices are.
STEAL THIS PROMPT
Rewrite my plans as George Costanza. Remove all guilt. Announce them to a room full of people. Increase confidence by 500%.
AI might give you:
Ladies and gentleman, I have made a decision. A historic decision. A decision so correct, so airtight, so brilliantly calibrated that frankly, it’s insulting to question it. For the new few weeks I will be doing….LESS.
So if anyone asks what my plan is, tell them this:
I am resting. I am recovering. I am protecting my peace.
And I will be doing it all with the confidence of a man who once ate an eclair out of a trash can and believed he was right.
Say this speech. Out loud.
🌀 ANX-AI-ETY
George Wouldn’t Have This Problem
Some people worry AI is going to replace them.
George Costanza would ask:
"Can it go to work for me?"
"Can it break up with Susan for me?"
"Can it call my mother?"
Different concern entirely.
The truth is, AI is mostly pattern recognition.
It notices that every summer you promise to become a morning person. And every summer you'd rather sit by the pool.
AI isn’t replacing you.
But it can help you see yourself more clearly.
And that's gold, Jerry. Gold.
⚡ POWER PLAY
Summer of George
If George got a summer named after him, why shouldn't you?
STEAL THIS PROMPT
Interview me about my ideal summer. Based on my answers, create a name for the summer I'm actually meant to have.
May your results be ridiculous and alarmingly accurate.
✨ Hit reply and tell me the name of your summer! ✨
🎙️ VOICE NOTES
Inspired by George Costanza
Listen.
If every summer has to be transformative, eventually you're just transforming yourself into a very tired person.
Maybe this year you don't need a side hustle.
Maybe you don't need a glow-up.
Maybe you need a sandwich and a lawn chair.
The problem with you people is you're always trying to improve things.
I had a whole summer of doing nothing. They named it after me.
Think about that.

👉 Forward to that friend who loves Seinfeld. Or does too much. Or nothing at all.
✨ Behind the Voice
I started writing this issue because I've always loved the idea of Summer of George. The older I get, the more I realize it wasn't really about doing nothing. It was about giving yourself permission to want what you actually want. Which, ironically, might be the most productive thing you do all summer.
