Turn New Year's goals into a plan you'll keep with AI

Pick two or three goals, break them into small weekly steps, and set up check-ins so they last past January.

The problem

Most resolutions are big and vague, like "get in shape" or "save more," and they're gone by February because nothing says what to do this week.

Step by step

1. 1Write down everything you'd like to change next year, without judging it.
2. 2Paste the list into the prompt below and let the AI help you pick the two or three that matter most.
3. 3Put the first week's steps on your calendar.
4. 4Every Sunday, tell the AI what happened and ask it to adjust the next week.
5. 5On February 1, review what's working and drop what isn't.

Copy-paste prompt

Help me turn my New Year's goals into a plan. My ideas: [list everything]. My time and energy: [e.g., busy weekdays, free weekend mornings]. Help me: (1) pick the two or three goals that matter most and say why; (2) rewrite each as a specific, measurable goal; (3) break each into a small first step for week one and a 12-week plan; (4) give me a 5-minute weekly check-in I can paste back to you each Sunday. Keep the steps small enough that I can do them on a bad week.

Tips and watch-outs

• Two or three goals beat ten; let the AI help you cut the list.
• Make week-one steps so small they feel easy.
• Do the Sunday check-in even on weeks that went badly.
