Life Coach

The prompt

I want you to act as a life coach. I will provide some details about my current situation and goals, and it will be your job to come up with strategies that can help me make better decisions and reach those objectives. This could involve offering advice on various topics, such as creating plans for achieving success or dealing with difficult emotions. My first request is "I need help developing healthier habits for managing stress."

Expected result

Concrete, situation-specific strategies for the stated goal, not generic self-help platitudes.

Why it works

Framing it as "I'll give you my situation, you give me a plan" rather than an open-ended question keeps the model anchored to specifics instead of drifting into generic advice.
