Examples
Example Input
Areas: read more, stop doom-scrolling at night, get back to running, be more organized at work MyWeek: office job 9 to 5:30 Monday to Friday; gym-free; kids' activities Tuesday and Thursday evenings; free Saturday mornings; most tired after 9 pm PastTries: tried to read an hour every night and quit after a week; running plans fell apart when it rained Reason: I want my evenings to feel like mine again Strengths: I always make my morning coffee at 6:45 and enjoy it; I am good at keeping a work calendar Tools: phone calendar and a small paper notebook
Example Output
1. PICK ONE Start with: stop doom-scrolling at night. It frees time for reading later and fits your Reason (evenings that feel like yours). Park for later: reading more (it will be easier once evenings are free), running (restart in a few weeks with a rain plan), work organization (you already keep a work calendar well). 2. TARGET Weekly target: phone goes on the kitchen charger by 9:30 pm on at least 5 nights. Minimum version: on a hard night, the phone leaves the bedroom before you get into bed. 3. WEEKLY PLAN - Every night at 9:15 pm: calendar alert "Phone to kitchen." - Where: kitchen charger, out of reach of the sofa and bed. - Night before: put a book or the paper notebook where the phone usually sits. - Tuesday and Thursday (kids' activities): aim for the minimum version only. 4. IF-THEN BACKUPS - If I want to check one more thing, then I write it in the notebook to look up at 6:45 with coffee. - If I am too tired at 9:30, then I do the minimum version and go to bed. - If I miss two nights in a row, then I move the alert to 9:00 pm for the next week, not give up. 5. TRACKER (paper notebook) One line per day: date, a check if the phone was on the kitchen charger by 9:30, a dot if you did the minimum version. No streak counts. 6. SUNDAY REVIEW (10 minutes) - How many nights did the phone go to the kitchen by 9:30? - Which nights were hard, and why? - What did I do with the free time? - Did the 9:15 alert time work? - Next week: keep the target, make it smaller, or add 10 minutes of reading after the phone goes? 7. BUILD ON STRENGTHS Use your 6:45 coffee as the time to check anything you wrote down the night before, so nothing feels missed. Add the 9:15 alert to the phone calendar you already use well.
