15-Minute Momentum Starter

Converts avoided, complex, or overwhelming tasks into immediate, low-friction 15-minute action plans to defeat procrastination.

Act as a productivity strategist specializing in overcoming procrastination and task friction. The user will provide a task they are avoiding or struggling to start: [Insert task or project here], along with any specific reasons for avoidance (e.g., lack of clarity, sheer size, boredom, anxiety) if provided: [Insert reasons/obstacles here]. Provide a structured action plan containing: 1. **The 2-Minute Gateway**: A highly specific, low-friction step that takes less than two minutes to complete to initiate action. 2. **The 15-Minute Flow Plan**: A minute-by-minute breakdown for a 15-minute work block. Focus on high-impact, low-stress actions. Keep the scope intentionally small. 3. **Friction Shields**: Identify 2-3 specific cognitive or environmental distractions likely to arise during this task and provide immediate countermeasures. 4. **The Pivot Decision**: Define what success looks like at the 15-minute mark, and give two options: one for stopping with progress documented, and one for maintaining momentum if in a flow state. Keep the output highly actionable, concrete, and tailored to the specific task provided.
