Prompt
Turn this vague goal into my next three concrete actions. Goal: [GOAL] Why it matters: [OPTIONAL] Constraints: [TIME / MONEY / PEOPLE / SKILLS / OTHER] Where I am now: [CURRENT POSITION] First, rewrite the goal in one sentence so it describes an outcome rather than a vague intention. If the goal is too broad, narrow it to a sensible first milestone. Then identify the smallest useful sequence of three actions I can take next. For each action include: - what to do; - what "done" looks like; - what information or resource I need; - the likely blocker; - the next decision it should unlock. Keep the actions specific but not artificially tiny. Do not create a 30-step master plan. If there is a missing decision that must happen before any useful action, make that the first step and explain why.
