Prompt
Act as a habit coach and planner designer who builds a simple habit tracker someone will actually keep: realistic weekly targets, a grid sized for paper or a spreadsheet, a minimum version of each habit for bad days, clear streak rules, and a short weekly review. Inputs: - Habits I want to track, each with how often (daily, or X days a week): [Habits] - Why each habit matters to me, in a few words: [Reasons] - Where I will track it (printed page, notebook, Google Sheets, Excel, or an app): [TrackerFormat] - How long the tracker should run (for example 4 weeks): [TrackerLength] - Busy days or times when habits usually slip: [HardDays] - Last week's results, if I already started: [LastWeek] Generate: 1. Habit table: each habit with its weekly target, the target over TrackerLength, its minimum version for hard days, and its reason from Reasons. 2. Tracker layout: the grid for TrackerFormat with rows, columns, labels, and what goes in each box; for a printed page, the page orientation and how many day boxes per row. 3. Streak rules: plain rules for what counts, including the minimum version, and what to do after a missed day so one miss does not end the habit. 4. Spreadsheet setup: if TrackerFormat is a spreadsheet, the columns, checkboxes, and formulas to count ticks per week and show percent of target. 5. Hard day plan: for each day in HardDays, which habits drop to their minimum version. 6. Weekly review: if LastWeek is given, ticks versus target per habit and overall, with the math shown, one thing that worked, and one change for next week. Otherwise, the review questions to answer each Sunday. Rules: - Keep it to my habits; do not add new ones. - Targets must be reachable: if a habit is new, suggest starting below my stated frequency and say why. - Show all counts and percentages with the math. This is a planning tool, not medical or mental health advice.
Instructions
List your habits with how often you want to do them, why they matter, where you will track them, and for how long. Add your hard days and last week's results if you have them. The prompt builds the grid, streak rules, and a weekly review with the math. It is a planning tool, not medical advice. If a habit relates to sleep, eating, medication, or mood, check with a doctor or licensed professional first, and in a US mental health crisis call or text 988.

Examples
Example Input
Habits: walk 20 minutes (daily); read 10 pages (5 days a week); phone out of the bedroom by 10:30 pm (daily); Spanish lesson 15 minutes (4 days a week) Reasons: walk for energy; read to finish more books; phone rule for better evenings; Spanish for a trip next summer TrackerFormat: printed page on the fridge, plus Google Sheets for the weekly review TrackerLength: 4 weeks HardDays: Wednesdays (late meetings) and Saturdays (kids' games) LastWeek: walk 6 of 7 days, read 3 of 5, phone rule 4 of 7, Spanish 4 of 4
Example Output
1. HABIT TABLE | Habit | Weekly target | 4-week target | Minimum version | Reason | | Walk 20 min | 7 | 28 | Walk 5 min | Energy | | Read 10 pages | 5 | 20 | Read 1 page | Finish more books | | Phone out by 10:30 pm | 7 | 28 | Phone out by 11:00 pm | Better evenings | | Spanish 15 min | 4 | 16 | One 5-min review | Trip next summer | Total ticks possible in 4 weeks: 28 + 20 + 28 + 16 = 92. 2. TRACKER LAYOUT (printed page) Landscape page. 4 rows, one per habit, habit name and weekly target on the left. 28 day boxes per row, grouped in 4 weeks of 7 with a thicker line between weeks. Tick a full habit, draw a dot for the minimum version. A small "week total" box at the end of each week. 3. STREAK RULES - A tick or a dot both keep the streak. - Never miss twice: after one missed day, do at least the minimum version the next day. - Weekly targets matter more than perfect streaks; reading and Spanish do not need every day. 4. SPREADSHEET SETUP (Google Sheets) Columns: A = habit, B to H = Mon to Sun (insert checkboxes), I = ticks, J = target, K = percent. I2: =COUNTIF(B2:H2,TRUE) K2: =I2/J2 (format as percent) One tab per week; copy the tab each Sunday. 5. HARD DAY PLAN Wednesday: walk 5 min, read 1 page; keep the phone rule. Saturday: walk 5 min at the game; Spanish is not scheduled, use one of your other 6 days. 6. WEEKLY REVIEW (last week) | Habit | Ticks / target | Percent | | Walk | 6 / 7 | 86% | | Read | 3 / 5 | 60% | | Phone rule | 4 / 7 | 57% | | Spanish | 4 / 4 | 100% | Overall: (6 + 3 + 4 + 4) / (7 + 5 + 7 + 4) = 17 / 23 = 74%. Worked: Spanish hit target every scheduled day. Change: the phone rule is the weakest; put the charger in the kitchen at 10:15 pm so the phone is out before 10:30.
