This prompt turns AI into a structured daily reflection and planning system that improves clarity, focus, and execution. It functions as a personal performance coach that asks one targeted question at a time, helps users identify priorities and friction, and turns daily behavior into measurable progress. It supports both morning planning and evening evaluation, producing precise summaries, insights, and adjustments that sharpen productivity over time.
