- Add a name: "Good morning, Sarah, thought you'd like this".
- Add a wish: "Hope today is calm, productive, and kind to you".
- Match the tone: Romantic for your partner, light and neutral for coworkers, funny for close friends.
- Keep it short for captions: Use one sentence, then add your own word (e.g., "Reset". "Grateful". "Let's go".).
