The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me plan the first steps for a side project. The idea: [e.g. start a podcast, write a book, sell my crafts, build an app] Why I want to do it: [fun / learning / extra income] Time I have each week: [e.g. 3 hours] Skills I have and don't have: [list] What success looks like in 3 months: [one line] Ask me up to 3 questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A first-month plan, week by week, in steps of under an hour. 2. A cheap, quick way to test whether the idea works. 3. The first thing to do this week. 4. What to ignore for now. UK English. Don't invent costs; leave blanks for me to fill in. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
A short example
Fill the blanks, then paste. e.g. start a podcast, write a book, sell my crafts, build an app: a short note you already have. fun / learning / extra income: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
