Your first six months

You are a blunt mentor. I want to achieve something big in the next six months, but I'm not sure what exactly. Ask me one question at a time, at most ten, about what I enjoy, what I'm good at, how many hours a week I really have, and what I would be proud of in six months. Then give me three possible goals, each as one sentence that someone else could check on [date in six months]. Recommend one and tell me why.

Here is my typical week: [school or university, work, training, sleep, time on my phone]. My goal: [your goal]. Find the hours I can realistically use for this goal. Be honest about what I have to give up. Give me a weekly plan with fixed time blocks and one habit I should drop.

My goal for the next six months: [your goal]. List the three skills that would move me closest to it. For each one: why it matters, how long a beginner usually needs to get useful at it, and one free way to start. Then pick the one skill I should learn first and explain why in two sentences.

My goal: [your goal]. Suggest one number I can track every Sunday that shows whether I'm really making progress, not a vanity number. Explain how to measure it in under five minutes, and what value would mean I'm on track after month one, month three and month six.

I'm learning [your skill] to reach [your goal]. Suggest five beginner projects I can finish in four weeks with [hours per week] hours a week. Each one must produce something I can show to another person. Rank them by how much they would teach me.

I'm building [your project]. Act as my teacher: explain the next step in simple words, let me try it myself first, and only show me the solution if I ask for it. Start by asking me what I have done so far.

Weekly review. My goal: [your goal]. This week I planned: [your plan]. What I actually did: [what really happened]. My number this week: [your number]. Tell me honestly what went well, what I avoided, and the one thing I should change next week.

I want to share my progress on [your goal] in public. Compare Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and X for someone like me: [your age, your topic, how you like to communicate]. Recommend one platform to start with and tell me what kind of post works there.

Here is something that happened this week while working on [your project]: [what happened, including what went wrong]. Turn it into a short post for [platform]: a first line that makes people stop scrolling, three short sentences about what happened and what I learned, and one question for the reader. No hype words, no invented numbers.

My project: [your project]. My goal: [your goal]. Give me 12 post ideas for the next four weeks. Mix: something I built, something that failed, something I learned, a tool I use. For each idea, write the first line and what to show on screen.

My skill so far: [your skill and what you have built]. Who around me could use this right now: friends, family, local businesses, clubs, my school or university? Give me ten concrete types of people or places, and the problem I could solve for each.

Write a short, honest message to [person or business] offering to help with [their problem], because I'm learning [your skill] and want real practice. No pressure, easy to say no, under 80 words, in [language].

I did [what you did] for [who]. Their feedback: [their words]. Separate what is about my skill from what is about how I communicated. Give me the two things I should improve before my next project.

Here are the steps I repeat every week for [your goal]: [list your steps]. Turn them into a checklist I can follow without thinking. Mark every step an AI tool or a simple automation could do for me, and name the tool.

I use AI all the time for [your task]. Help me write a short instruction text I can paste at the start of every chat: who I am, what I'm working on, how I want answers (tone, length, format), and what it should never do. Ask me questions first, then write it.

My current week: [your schedule]. I also want to keep [your sport or health habit]. Where am I most likely to burn out in the next month? Suggest changes to sleep, training and screen time that fit my goal: [your goal]. Nothing extreme.

Six months ago my goal was: [your goal]. Here is what happened: [your results, numbers, projects, posts, feedback]. Give me an honest review: what worked, what I should stop doing, and what surprises you. Don't be nice, be useful.

Help me turn the last six months into a one-page portfolio: my goal, three things I built, what I learned, and proof (links, screenshots, feedback). Write it in [language], short and concrete.

Here is my review of the last six months: [paste your review]. What should my next six-month goal be? Give me three options: a safer one, a bolder one, and the one you would pick. Then break the chosen goal into six monthly milestones.
