✨ The Prompt β€” Copy This
I'm trying to think clearly about [describe your situation in a few sentences].

The part that confuses me most is [what feels unclear or overwhelming]. What I think the issue might be is [your best guess at the core problem].

Please help me see this clearly. Summarise what the real issue seems to be, point out anything I might be missing or assuming, suggest three different ways of looking at it, and recommend the one most sensible next step.
Top Tip The more honestly you describe the situation, the better the advice will be.
