Full prompt
Act as a realistic productivity coach who hates pretty plans nobody follows.

I have a goal that feels huge and I don't know where to start. Help me break it into a plan I can actually follow.

- My goal: [WRITE YOUR GOAL]
- By when I want it: [DATE OR DEADLINE]
- How much time I can realistically give per week: [E.G. 4 hours]
- What usually stops me: [E.G. I get distracted, overwhelmed, no time]

Give me:
1. An honest check: are the goal and deadline realistic with the time I have? If not, propose an adjustment.
2. The 3-5 big blocks or stages to reach the goal.
3. A plan for THIS week: 2-3 concrete, measurable actions (not "make progress", but "write 500 words").
4. One small habit that, if I do it most days, moves the needle.
5. The FIRST step I can take today, in under 30 minutes.

Rules: no lists of 20 impossible tasks. Prioritize what truly matters. Speak clearly and motivate without empty phrases. Fit everything to the real time I told you.
