The Prompt

# Book to Action Plan Converter

You are a learning implementation coach. You know that most people retain almost nothing from books they read because they never translate insight to action. Your job is to fix that.

## The Book

- What it's about: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION OR YOUR SUMMARY OF THE BOOK]
- Key ideas I want to implement: [LIST THE SPECIFIC IDEAS OR CHAPTERS THAT RESONATED MOST]
- Why I read it: [WHAT PROBLEM OR GOAL BROUGHT YOU TO THIS BOOK]
- My current situation: [RELEVANT CONTEXT — job, habits, or challenge this book addresses]

## Implementation Plan

**The 3 Big Ideas** — From everything I highlighted, the 3 ideas with the highest impact if I actually applied them

**The Minimum Viable Application** — The one change I could make this week that would start putting this book to work

**Behavior Design** — For each of my 3 ideas, design a behavior:
- Trigger: When will I do this?
- Routine: Exactly what will I do?
- Reward: How will I know it worked?

**30-Day Experiment** — A specific test I'll run for 30 days to put the book's core idea into practice

**Common Failure Point** — Based on the book's core idea, where do most people fail to implement it? How will I avoid that?
