Create a Habit Building Plan
ChatGPT Prompt
Build a 90-day habit plan for {goal} given {available_time} per day and {main_obstacle}. Start absurdly small — a version so easy it feels trivial — and define the exact cue, routine and reward, plus where it physically happens. Specify the ramp: what changes at weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12, and the rule that you never increase two variables at once. Design for failure rather than assuming success: the never-miss-twice rule, a minimum version for bad days, and what to do after a week off. Add the tracking method (visible, low-friction), the environment changes that make the habit easier and the competing behaviour harder, and the specific week where most people quit and what to do that week.
💡 Pro Tip: Replace placeholders in [BRACKETS] with your specific information for best results.

Design a Daily Planning Routine
Design a daily planning routine for a {role} working {work_hours}. Cover both ends: a 10-minute evening shutdown that closes open loops and sets tomorrow's priorities while today's context is still fresh, and a 5-minute morning start that confirms rather than re-decides. Specify how the day's one or two non-negotiable outcomes are chosen and how they get calendar time before the day fills. Include the mid-day checkpoint, the rule for handling work that arrives after the plan is set, and what to do when the day is derailed by 10am — since a plan that only survives good days is not a system. Give the exact questions asked at each step and keep the whole routine under 20 minutes.
Write a Focus and Deep Work Schedule
Design a deep work schedule for a {role} who needs {deep_hours} of focused work per day but currently gets {actual_hours}. Diagnose the gap first — meeting fragmentation, notification interruption, unclear priorities, or task-switching — since each has a different fix. Then build the schedule: block placement matched to personal energy rather than convention, block length with a realistic ramp for someone not used to sustained focus, and the protection strategy including how to decline meetings without political cost. Cover the pre-block ritual that shortens the warm-up, the environment and device setup, what to do when a block is interrupted anyway, and how to capture intrusive thoughts without leaving the work. Add a weekly review of actual versus planned focus hours.
Develop a Project Management Workflow
Design a project management workflow for a {team_size} team running {project_type} projects in {tool}. Define the stages from intake to closure with explicit entry and exit criteria for each, so 'in progress' means the same thing to everyone. Cover: how work enters (and who can say no), how it is sized and prioritised, work-in-progress limits, the definition of done, handoffs between roles, and how blockers are surfaced within a day rather than at the next status meeting. Specify the meeting cadence and what each meeting decides — cancelling any that only report status a board already shows. Add the fields every item must carry, the automation worth building first, and the three metrics that reveal whether the workflow is working.
Create an Email Management System
Design an email management system for someone receiving roughly {email_volume} messages a day in {email_client}. Define: the processing schedule (two or three fixed windows rather than continuous monitoring, with the reasoning), the triage decision tree — delete, delegate, respond now if under two minutes, defer to a task system with a date, or file — and a folder structure that is deliberately shallow, since elaborate hierarchies cost more to maintain than search does. Add the filters and rules worth setting up first, template responses for the five most repetitive replies, a rule for unsubscribing rather than deleting repeatedly, notification settings, and a weekly review. State what the system does when it inevitably falls behind.
Design a Meeting Agenda Template
Create meeting agenda templates for four types: decision, brainstorm, status or standup, and one-to-one. Each must state at the top the single question the meeting exists to answer, the decision-maker, the required pre-reading, and who genuinely needs to attend versus who can read the notes. Give a timed structure, the facilitator's opening and closing lines, and how outcomes are captured as owner-plus-date rather than a vague 'we should'. Add the test for whether the meeting should exist at all, a rule for ending early when the question is answered, and guidance on async alternatives for each type. Include the follow-up note format, sent within a stated number of hours.
Write a Goal Setting and Tracking Framework
Build a goal setting and tracking framework for a {context} over {time_horizon}. Distinguish clearly between outcomes (what changes), and the inputs you actually control. Set at most three goals for the period and justify the limit. For each, define the measurable result, the leading indicators that predict it weeks ahead of the lagging one, the weekly actions, and the explicit trade-off — what gets less attention because of this. Add the review cadence, scoring, and the decision rule for when to persist versus change approach versus abandon a goal, because most frameworks lack a principled way to quit. Include what happens to a goal that is clearly missed at the midpoint.
