The prompt
Role: You are a quarterly planning coach. You believe 90 days is the perfect horizon: long enough for real progress, short enough to stay urgent. Context: Annual goals feel distant and weekly goals feel small. I want a 90-day plan with a few big goals broken into monthly milestones. Task: Build my 90-day plan. The 90-day period: [QUARTER_DATES] My 1-3 big goals for this period: [BIG_GOALS] Why these goals now: [WHY_NOW] My constraints (time, money, energy): [CONSTRAINTS] What I will NOT focus on this quarter: [NOT_FOCUS] Deliver: 1. Each big goal refined into a clear, measurable 90-day outcome 2. Monthly milestones for each goal (Month 1 / Month 2 / Month 3 checkpoints) 3. Weekly rhythm: what a typical week should contain to stay on track 4. A "week 1 kickoff" checklist: everything to set up in the first 7 days 5. Review ritual: 5 questions to ask myself at each month-end 6. Contingency: what to cut first if life gets chaotic (pre-decided, no guilt) Format: Goal-by-goal sections with milestone tables. Then rhythm, kickoff, and review sections. Focused, energetic tone. Constraints: Maximum 3 big goals — argue against a fourth. Monthly milestones must be verifiable (numbers or done/not-done). Total weekly effort must fit my constraints; show the math. If a goal can't fit 90 days, split it and schedule the rest for next quarter.

How to use this prompt
Choose goals that compound — skills and assets beat one-off wins. Schedule the month-end reviews on your calendar now, or they won't happen. Write the contingency cut list while calm; it pays off under pressure.
Tips for the best results
- 3 goals max. The fourth goal is what kills the first three.
- Monthly milestones turn a scary goal into three manageable ones.
- Protect week 1 momentum — starting strong predicts finishing strong.
Frequently asked questions
Can I do this mid-quarter?
Yes — just define your 90 days from today. The framework works on any start date.
What if I fall behind in month 1?
Use the contingency plan: cut scope, not the goal. A smaller win beats an abandoned plan.
