Provide safe constraints such as available hours, priorities and rest. Ask for a plan with buffers. AI cannot know your calendar unless an authorised connection provides it.
Provide the real planning limits as fictional exercise data: three free evenings, a £40 budget and one task that must happen on Tuesday. Ask for a draft schedule with buffers and dependencies. The model does not know your calendar unless access is explicitly available. Check clashes yourself and move only approved items into the calendar. A plan should reduce effort, not create a longer list of commitments than the available time can hold.
