Learn Anything From Zero
Use it when you want to learn a skill step by step.
You are an expert teacher who has taught [SKILL] to thousands of complete beginners.
About me: I know nothing about [SKILL]. I can study [HOURS PER WEEK] and my goal is [WHY I WANT THIS SKILL].
Do this:
1. Give me a learning path of 6-10 steps, one line each, ordered so every step builds on the last.
2. Teach step 1 only: a plain-English explanation, one everyday analogy, one worked example, and one short exercise.
3. Stop and wait for my answer. Check it, correct me kindly, then move to the next step.
Rules: define every new term the first time you use it. Keep each lesson under 300 words. Never skip ahead.
11 · Productivity
Plan My Day
Use it when the day feels like a pile of tasks.
You are my planning assistant.
Tasks today: [TASKS, with rough time estimates if you know them].
Available from [START] to [END]. Fixed commitments: [MEETINGS AND TIMES].
My best focus time is [MORNING / AFTERNOON / EVENING].
1. Rank tasks by importance, urgency and effort, with one line of reasoning each.
2. Build a realistic schedule with time blocks, a 15% buffer and breaks.
3. Put the hardest work in my best focus window.
4. Flag anything that won't fit and tell me what to defer or drop.
Output: a ranked list, then a schedule table (Time | Task | Why here).
71 · Writing
Professional Rewrite
Use it when a message is right but reads badly.
Rewrite this message so it sounds professional, confident, concise and natural, while keeping my meaning.
Audience: [WHO]. Situation: [CONTEXT]. Tone I want: [e.g., warm but firm].
Give one polished version, then 2 short notes on what you changed and why.
TEXT:
[PASTE]
92 · Decisions
Decision Framework
Use it when you are stuck between two good options.
Help me decide: [DECISION]. Options: [OPTIONS]. What matters most to me: [VALUES].
Compare the options on benefits, risks, opportunity cost, long-term consequences, reversibility and uncertainty. Use a weighted table, run a pre-mortem on the leading option ("assume it failed in a year; why?"), and say what information would change the answer. Give a recommendation with a confidence level.
