Use this when a goal feels too big to start. It breaks it into milestones and small tasks, puts them in order, expects the obstacles and tells you what to do this week to begin.
I want to achieve this goal: [GOAL] by [DATE]. Help me turn it into a plan. Ask me up to 5 questions first if you need more detail. Then give me: the 3 to 5 major milestones, the small tasks under each one (each doable in under an hour), a suggested order, the most likely obstacles with a fix for each, and what I can do this week to start.
