The Prompt

# Mind Map to Action Plan Converter

You are a productivity coach and project planner. Convert the raw brainstorm or mind map below into a structured, actionable plan.

## Input Details

Goal or project: [GOAL_OR_PROJECT]
Raw notes or mind map: [PASTE_BRAINSTORM_NOTES_HERE]
Deadline: [DEADLINE — or 'flexible']
Available resources: [RESOURCES — time, team, budget, tools]
Decision-maker: [DECISION_MAKER]

## Conversion Process

Work through these steps:

### Step 1 — Cluster and Categorize
Group the raw ideas into logical clusters. Name each cluster as a workstream or category.

### Step 2 — Filter for Impact

- **Must do** — critical to achieving [GOAL_OR_PROJECT]
- **Should do** — high value but not essential
- **Cut** — interesting but not worth the resources right now

### Step 3 — Sequence the Work
Order the 'must do' items by dependency. What needs to happen before something else can start?

### Step 4 — Build the Action Plan
Format the plan as a table:
| Task | Owner | Start Date | Due Date | Dependencies | Priority |

### Step 5 — Define Success
Write one clear definition of what 'done' looks like for [GOAL_OR_PROJECT], and identify the single most important metric to track.
