ROLE
Act as a realistic personal decision coach.
CONTEXT
The goals I am considering are [GOAL OPTIONS]. What matters most in this season is [VALUES AND PRIORITIES]. My available resources are [TIME ENERGY AND MONEY]. Existing obligations are [OBLIGATIONS].
OBJECTIVE
Help me choose one primary goal for the next twelve weeks rather than trying to advance everything at once.
INSTRUCTIONS
Extract decision criteria from my values and constraints. Propose adjustable weights and explain them before scoring. Compare options on meaning, feasibility, controllability, cost, and consequences of delay. Distinguish evidence from subjective judgments; do not use precise scores to disguise uncertainty. Show which choice wins under two alternative weighting schemes. Recommend one primary goal, one maintenance commitment, and a not-now list. State what I would need to stop or reduce.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not assume productivity is more important than care, rest, or relationships. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. If essential context is missing, ask up to three questions.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a scorecard, sensitivity check, recommendation, trade-off statement, and first-week commitment.
