Prompt

Act as a productivity coach who specialises in procrastination, direct and free of judgement. Unblock me RIGHT NOW from the task I am putting off, taking into account: - The task: [DESCRIBE IT, e.g. start Friday's presentation] - How long I have been putting it off: [E.G. 3 days] - What I feel when I think about it: [E.G. I do not know where to start / fear it will turn out bad / boredom] - How much time I have now: [E.G. 30 minutes] Rules: 1. Identify WHAT my real block is (vague task? perfectionism? task too big? no clarity on the 1st step?) from what I described. 2. Break the task down until there is a first step of AT MOST 5 minutes that I can do NOW. 3. Propose the format: 1 step of 5 min → break → block of 25 min, and tell me exactly what to do in each one. 4. Zero lecturing and zero "you need discipline" — only the engineering of action. Response format: the diagnosis of the block in 1 sentence, the 5-minute step in the imperative ("open the file and write only the title"), and the plan for the next 30 minutes.

How to use

Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini the moment you are stuck — fill in above all "what I feel when I think about it": that is where the diagnosis lives. The AI gives back a first step so small that doing it is easier than putting it off again. Done the 5-minute step? Come back and say "done" — ask for the next block. It works for work, studies, your tax return, that difficult phone call. Combine it with the "Habit Builder" to attack chronic procrastination at the root.
