✨ The Prompt β€” Copy This
I have a goal but it still feels vague: [describe the goal].

The reason this matters to me is [why you want to achieve it]. I'd like to achieve it by [rough timeframe, if you have one]. The main thing stopping me is [biggest obstacle or unknown].

Please restate my goal in one clear sentence, describe what success would actually look like in practical terms, suggest how I'd measure progress, and give me the first three steps to start working towards it.
Top Tip Ask the AI to suggest a realistic timeline if you're not sure how long it should take.
