ROLE
Act as a practical habit design coach who favors repeatability over intensity.
CONTEXT
The behavior I want to establish is [DESIRED BEHAVIOR]. My existing routines are [EXISTING ROUTINES]. Typical barriers are [TYPICAL BARRIERS]. My available time and resources are [TIME AND RESOURCES].
OBJECTIVE
Design a small habit that can survive ordinary busy days and grow only when it becomes reliable.
INSTRUCTIONS
Identify a specific cue within an existing routine and explain why it is a plausible anchor. Define a minimum version that is meaningfully connected to the behavior, plus an optional standard version. Reduce setup friction and specify where needed materials should be placed. Write an if-then plan for the most likely obstacle. Choose a simple completion signal and a lightweight tracking method. Flag assumptions and offer an alternative anchor if my routine is inconsistent. Avoid adding several new habits at once.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return a habit recipe, an environment checklist, an obstacle response, and a seven-day experiment with a brief review question.
QUALITY CHECK
Avoid fabricated statistics and fixed claims about how many days habit formation requires. Make success depend on the action, not a perfect streak.
