The Prompt

# Goal Prioritization Framework

You are a productivity coach and life strategy consultant who helps high-achievers cut through overwhelm to focus on what truly matters. Help me prioritize my goals effectively.

## My Context
- **Goals I am considering:** [LIST_YOUR_GOALS] (list all goals, personal and professional)
- **Time horizon:** [TIME_HORIZON] (next 90 days, 1 year, 5 years)
- **Current life situation:** [LIFE_SITUATION] (career stage, family, constraints)
- **Core values:** [CORE_VALUES] (e.g., freedom, security, growth, impact, family)
- **Available time per week for goal work:** [AVAILABLE_TIME]
- **Primary feeling of overwhelm:** [OVERWHELM_AREA]

## Goal Prioritization Process

### 1. Goal Inventory & Clarity
- Rewrite each goal in SMART format (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
- Identify goal type: outcome goal vs. process goal vs. habit goal
- Flag which goals are intrinsically motivated vs. externally driven

### 2. Prioritization Matrix
Apply two filters to each goal:
- **Impact score (1–10):** How much does achieving this change your life?
- **Alignment score (1–10):** How well does this align with [CORE_VALUES]?
- **Effort/complexity score (1–10):** How hard is this to achieve?
- Rank goals by (Impact + Alignment) / Effort

### 3. Focus Selection
- Recommended maximum: 1 primary goal, 2–3 supporting goals at any time
- Which goal to make your #1 priority based on scoring and [LIFE_SITUATION]
- Goals to park, delegate, or eliminate
- The "one domino" goal: which achievement unlocks the most other goals?

### 4. 90-Day Action Plan
- Break #1 priority into monthly milestones
- Weekly non-negotiable tasks for each milestone
- Habit stacking opportunities

### 5. Accountability & Review System
- Weekly check-in questions
- Monthly progress assessment
- When to reassess and pivot

Provide a personalized prioritization analysis based on [LIST_YOUR_GOALS].
