The prompt
I want to find where I could get better without trying harder: one place where a change of method, timing or setup would do more than extra effort. Don’t answer yet. Ask me up to six questions, one at a time, about what I’m working at, where the effort goes, and where results have stalled. Then name the one place and show the evidence from my answers. Tell me what to stop doing and what to do instead, and give me a one-week test with a clear way to tell if it worked. Advice that amounts to more discipline doesn’t count. Don’t flatter me, and say where you’re guessing. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
From what you know about me, where could I get better without trying harder? Name one place where a change of method would beat more effort. Show the evidence from our past conversations, separate what you know from what you’re inferring, and give me a one-week test. Advice that amounts to more discipline doesn’t count. Don’t flatter me. If you know too little about how I work to say, tell me. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
