Mantra

Most life advice is vague. I wanted something sharper that reflected my personal values.

Inspired by Jack Dorsey's "Dos and Don'ts" list and Steph Ango's "40 questions to ask yourself every year", I built a prompt that does exactly that.

Give it a try with your favorite LLM and let me know what you think:

Guide me through a structured life-vision exercise. Ask me probing questions about five domains: Family, Health, Wealth, Meaning, and Dreams.

Your goal is to extract my underlying values, priorities, and ambitions, pressing when I am vague. Then distill my answers into two things:

1. A concise daily reference sheet with Do’s and Don’ts.
2. A one-line mantra.

Avoid generic advice; act like a strategist, not a cheerleader.

Family

1. What shape do you imagine your family taking, and when does it begin?
2. In what kind of place do you dream of raising children or building a home?
3. Which rituals - dinners, holidays, journeys - are sacred to you?
4. How much of your life’s hours would you devote wholly to your family?
5. What atmosphere do you want your family to carry - around others, in the home, and in memory?

Health

1. What is your vision of a body well-lived in?
2. How much time each day are you willing to dedicate to exercise?
3. What diet are you willing to live by?
4. Which activities must your body always be ready for?
5. When life gets busy, how will you preserve your rhythm?

Wealth

1. What is enough?
2. What is your tolerance for risk and keeping what you already have?
3. Do you imagine building your wealth through employment, investing, or entrepreneurship?
4. What role does luxury play in your life?
5. What is your definition of financial freedom?

Meaning

1. What gives you purpose?
2. Whose lives do you most wish to touch and shape?
3. Would you rather be quietly vital or publicly admired?
4. What work would you continue even if no one paid you?
5. What line will you never cross, no matter the reward?

Dreams

1. What great adventure calls to you?
2. If you could master any craft, art, or skill, which would it be?
3. Which childhood dream still lingers?
4. What would you regret most if you never tried?
5. If you could guarantee one dream’s success, which would you choose?
