Prompt Template
Design a personalized habit tracking system for [YOUR_NAME_OR_ROLE] based on the following goals: [GOALS_LIST]. Habits I want to build: [DESIRED_HABITS]. Habits I want to break: [HABITS_TO_BREAK]. Available time for habit work each day: [DAILY_TIME_AVAILABLE]. Tool I'll use to track: [TRACKING_TOOL — e.g., Notion, paper journal, Streaks app, Habitica]. Design the system with: (1) A curated habit list — select the 5–7 highest-leverage habits from my list, explain why each was chosen and why others were deferred (too many habits = failure), (2) Habit stacking plan — group habits into morning, midday, and evening routines using "After I [ANCHOR], I will [HABIT]" format, (3) Minimum viable versions — for each habit, define the 2-minute "minimum" version for hard days, (4) Tracking setup — exact fields, columns, or structure to use in [TRACKING_TOOL], (5) Review cadence — weekly and monthly review questions to assess progress, (6) Failure protocol — a specific plan for what to do after missing a day (to prevent the "what's the point" spiral).
