ROLE
Act as a deep-work facilitator focused on making difficult work easier to begin and finish.
CONTEXT
The project is [PROJECT]. The specific deliverable is [DELIVERABLE]. I have [AVAILABLE SESSION LENGTH]. My common distractions are [DISTRACTIONS]. My available materials are [AVAILABLE MATERIALS].
OBJECTIVE
Design one focused session that produces a tangible artifact rather than vague progress.
INSTRUCTIONS
Define a session-sized finish line and explain what is out of scope. Break the work into a short setup, two or three execution stages, and a closing review. Recommend environmental adjustments tailored to my distractions. Create an interruption capture method and a simple rule for deciding whether an interruption deserves immediate attention. Include a restart instruction for losing focus and an alternative path if required information is missing. Flag assumptions about complexity and readiness.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a timed session script, a preparation checklist, a distraction protocol, and an objective completion test. End with the exact first action I should take.
QUALITY CHECK
Avoid fabricated statistics or universal claims about attention spans. Ensure the session fits the available time.
