Most New Year's resolutions fail because they're built on who you want to be, not who you are.
ChatGPT can fix that. Give it context about your role, habits, and constraints — and it'll reflect a resolution that actually matches how you work.
Try this prompt:
Act as a strategic coach.
Based on everything you know about how I work, help me set ONE New Year’s resolution for 2026 that actually fits my real habits, constraints, and patterns — not an idealised version of me.
The resolution must:
- Focus on leverage, not self-discipline
- Be specific and behaviour-based
- Be realistic to start this week
- Directly remove friction or wasted effort in my work
Output:
1. The single resolution (one sentence)
2. Why this is the right resolution for me
3. One simple way to measure progress
Happy prompting!
