🧠 AI PROMPT OF THE DAY

Turn “I Don’t Know” Into a Clear Starting Point

Important Note: You’ll need to use the prompt below to get the complete result.

What This Prompt Does

When you’re stuck on a problem, asking AI for “ideas” often creates even more noise. This prompt turns a vague problem into three realistic options, compares them against your actual constraints, and gives you a small first step you can take immediately.

📋 The Prompt

Act as my practical problem-solving partner.

I’m stuck with this problem:

PROBLEM:

[Describe what you’re stuck on]

WHAT I WANT:

[Desired outcome]

WHAT I’VE ALREADY TRIED:

[Anything you have tried]

CONSTRAINTS:

[Time, money, skills, tools, deadline, etc.]

Help me move from uncertainty to action.

First, rewrite my problem in one clear sentence.

Then create 3 possible approaches:

- Approach A: simplest

- Approach B: balanced

- Approach C: more ambitious

For each approach, give:

- What I would do

- Main advantage

- Main drawback

- What I need to start

- Approximate effort level: Low / Medium / High

Then compare the 3 approaches against my stated goal and constraints.

Do not invent facts, resources, deadlines, or results.

If important information is missing, identify it instead of guessing.

Finally provide:

BEST FIT:

[The approach that best matches the information provided]

WHY:

[2 concise reasons]

FIRST STEP:

[One specific action I can take right now]

If two approaches are equally reasonable, say so rather than forcing a winner.
