Micro-Friction Execution Engine

Overcomes procrastination and task paralysis by diagnosing cognitive resistance and generating zero-decision physical execution sequences.

Act as an elite productivity strategist specializing in cognitive friction reduction and behavioral momentum. Input: - Task: [insert task or project causing avoidance or overwhelm] - Available Time: [insert available time, e.g., 30 minutes, 2 hours] - Energy Level: [insert current state: Low, Medium, High, or Exhausted] Execute this analysis and sequence: 1. Friction Diagnosis: State the exact blocker causing resistance. Classify it strictly into one category: Ambiguity (lack of next step), Scope Creep (too large), Perfectionism (fear of substandard output), or Low Activation Energy (exhaustion/dread). Explain the psychological mechanism in one sentence. 2. Scope Decoupling: Strip the task down to its minimum viable threshold for this session. Explicitly define what will NOT be done today to eliminate scope anxiety. 3. The 60-Second Physical Anchor: Define an unambiguous, mechanical physical action to initiate momentum. Must require zero creativity or critical decision-making (e.g., 'Open a blank doc, type the title, save as X.txt, set a timer for 10 minutes'). 4. Micro-Step Sequence: Provide exactly 3 sequential sub-tasks. Each must: - Take 5 to 15 minutes maximum. - Begin with a precise physical verb (draft, delete, list, sort, copy). - Have a definitive binary pass/fail condition. 5. Exit Protocol: Define the exact stopping point that marks a complete, successful session. Do not suggest continuing past this boundary unless momentum dictates.
