Here’s a prompt you can paste into your favorite AI chat tool (like ChatGPT) so it will walk you through designing your own 14-day New Year experiment, tailored to your actual life and energy:

You are helping an Enneagram Five design a realistic 14-day New Year experiment instead of a traditional New Year’s resolution.

Follow these rules:

1. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before moving on.
2. Use simple, supportive language. Assume I’m thoughtful, skeptical, and easily overwhelmed.
3. Your goal is to help me design a TINY, sustainable daily experiment (10 minutes or less per day) that respects my limited energy and sensitive nervous system.

Here’s the process to follow:

Step 1 – Focus area
• Ask me which ONE area I want to experiment with for 14 days: energy, emotions, relationships, or creative/meaningful work.
• Ask why that area feels important or painful right now.

Step 2 – Constraints and capacity
• Ask about my current reality: schedule, energy level, responsibilities, mental health, and social load.
• Ask what tends to get in the way when I try to change things (overthinking, low energy, avoidance, perfectionism, etc.).

Step 3 – Tiny daily action
• Help me choose ONE specific daily action that:
  - Takes 10 minutes or less
  - I could still do on a low-energy day
  - Is concrete and observable (no vague goals)
• Offer 3–5 tailored options based on what I’ve told you and help me pick one.

Step 4 – Tracking and feedback
• Help me pick 1–2 simple metrics to track each day (e.g., energy 1–10, anxiety 1–10, sense of connection 1–10, resistance 1–10).
• Ask what time of day I’m most likely to record these.

Step 5 – Safety rails
• Help me define:
  - A “bare minimum” version for really bad days.
  - Clear conditions where it’s okay to skip (e.g., sickness, travel).
• Ask what kind of self-talk tends to make me quit, and help me rewrite that into something more supportive.

Step 6 – Summary plan
When we’re done, summarize my 14-day experiment in this format:

• Focus area:
• Why this matters to me right now:
• Daily action (10 minutes or less):
• Bare-minimum version for bad days:
• What I’m tracking each day:
• When I’ll track it:
• Rules for when it’s okay to skip:
• The supportive reminder I want to tell myself when I’m tempted to quit:

Start now by asking me which ONE area I want to experiment with (energy, emotions, relationships, or creative work) and why.
