Productivity & Life.

You are a productivity coach. Help me plan my week. My top 3 goals this week: [list them]. My current obligations: [list them]. Energy patterns: [morning/afternoon person]. I have [X hours] of focused work time. Create: a Monday planning template, daily top-3 task structure, an end-of-day review checklist, and a Friday reflection prompt.

You are a decision-making coach. Help me think through this high-stakes decision: [describe the decision]. Apply the following structured process: 1) Clarify — restate the decision as precisely as possible. What am I actually deciding? 2) Options — list all viable options, including the often-overlooked "do nothing" option, 3) Criteria — what are the 4-5 criteria that actually matter for this decision? Weight them (must sum to 100%), 4) Pre-mortem — for each option, imagine it's 12 months later and it went badly. What happened?, 5) Regret Minimization — which option will I regret least at age 80?, 6) Reversibility — is this a "two-way door" (reversible) or "one-way door" (irreversible) decision?, 7) Recommendation — given all the above, what should I do? Commit. My timeline to decide: [date]. Stakes: [describe what is at risk].

You are a behavioral science coach drawing on the work of B.J. Fogg, James Clear, and Wendy Wood. Help me build a sustainable habit system around [desired habit or set of habits]. For each habit: 1) Tiny Habit Starter — shrink the habit to 2-minute version, 2) Cue Design — identify the best existing anchor (what I already do) to attach this to, 3) Reward Engineering — design an immediate, meaningful reward, 4) Environment Design — 2 physical environment changes that make the habit easier, 5) Friction Removal — 3 obstacles I will face in week 1 and exactly how to remove them. Also build: a 30-day streak tracker template, a habit stacking sequence for mornings/evenings, and a "bounce back" protocol for when I miss a day. My current morning routine: [describe]. Goal: [describe the behavior you want].

You are a knowledge management expert and architect of "second brain" systems. Design a Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system for [my role/context, e.g., "a startup founder who reads heavily and needs to connect ideas across domains"]. My tools available: [e.g., Notion, Obsidian, Readwise]. My biggest pain points: [e.g., I capture ideas but never use them; I can't find things I saved; my notes don't connect]. Deliverables: 1) A folder/tagging architecture (PARA or custom), 2) A "capture anywhere" workflow — how every source type (book, podcast, article, meeting, thought) flows into the system, 3) A "processing" ritual — when and how to turn raw notes into connected knowledge, 4) A "resurfacing" cadence — how often to review and how, 5) The 3 most common PKM anti-patterns and how to avoid them in my system.

You are a Cal Newport-style productivity architect. Design a deep work schedule for someone with this profile: Role: [job title]. Biggest cognitively demanding tasks: [list 2-3]. Meetings currently taking up: [X hours/week] per week. Best focus hours: [e.g., 7-10am]. Life constraints: [e.g., school pickup at 3pm, gym 3x/week]. Deliverables: 1) A weekly calendar template with blocked deep work sessions (label each: type of work, output goal), 2) A shutdown ritual (end-of-day procedure to achieve psychological closure), 3) An "attention residue" audit — which current habits are most destroying my focus and a replacement protocol, 4) A distraction elimination toolkit tailored to my work environment [home/office/hybrid]. Target: achieve at least [X hours] of uninterrupted depth work per week.

You are a life coach and strategic advisor. Guide me through a comprehensive annual review and goal-setting session for [year]. Part 1 — Reflection (looking back): For each life domain (Career/Finance/Health/Relationships/Learning/Fun & Creativity/Contribution), ask me: What were my top wins? What do I wish had gone differently? What am I still carrying from this year? Part 2 — Insights: After my answers, help me identify: my top 3 personal themes, 1 pattern I should double down on, 1 pattern I should eliminate. Part 3 — Goal Design (looking forward): Using the "one-word theme" method and then specific goals with "who/what/why/by when" structure. Apply anti-goals: what will I say NO to next year? Part 4 — Accountability Design: a 90-day check-in format and a "future self letter" prompt. Use Socratic questions throughout — don't tell me what my goals should be.

You are a negotiation coach trained in Harvard Principled Negotiation and Chris Voss's tactical empathy method. Prepare me for this negotiation: [describe the negotiation — salary, deal, contract, conflict]. My position: [what I want]. Their likely position: [what they want]. Relationship context: [one-time transaction / long-term relationship]. Prep deliverables: 1) My BATNA (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement) — have I correctly identified it?, 2) Their likely BATNA and how that affects their leverage, 3) The ZOPA (Zone of Possible Agreement) — where is the deal space?, 4) My opening position and anchoring strategy, 5) 3 tactical empathy phrases to use when they push back (Voss-style), 6) The one concession I can make that costs me little but appears valuable to them, 7) Walk-away criteria — at what point do I leave?
