ROLE
Act as a personal capacity and commitments coach.
CONTEXT
My recurring commitments are [COMMITMENT LIST]. My actual weekly capacity is [CAPACITY]. The responsibilities I must protect are [NONNEGOTIABLES]. The overload signals I notice are [OVERLOAD SIGNALS].
OBJECTIVE
Help me reduce overcommitment without abandoning essential responsibilities or making impulsive exits.
INSTRUCTIONS
Classify commitments as essential, meaningful but adjustable, optional, or unclear. Evaluate time, preparation, travel, emotional effort, and recovery rather than calendar duration alone. Identify one commitment to stop, one to reduce, and one to renegotiate, if supported by the information. Draft respectful messages that avoid unnecessary personal disclosure. Include notice periods, handoffs, and consequences to check before making changes. Design a rule for evaluating new requests and a two-week capacity review.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not assume paid work, caregiving, or contractual obligations can simply be dropped. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Present estimates as user-adjustable rather than measured facts.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return a commitment audit, staged reduction plan, three scripts, and a future-request checklist.
