The prompt

My goal is to . Goals like this have faded on me before, so skip the milestones. I want the one thing I’d do every week that would get me there. Ask me up to five questions, one at a time, about my weeks, my deadline, what got in the way last time, and what I’d honestly keep doing. Then give me one recurring action with a day, time and place, what it replaces in my week, and one number to track that counts what I do, not the result. Then check it: at that pace, do I get there in time? Show the arithmetic and say what you assumed. If the answer is no, say so and offer me a bigger action or a later date.
