In partnership with WisprFlow: Don’t Type, Just Speak
The Idea:
This prompt is designed to identify where you've been spending your thoughts and your actions. By providing that clarity it helps you decide if those are the actions you want to continue with or if you'd like to stop. It's just a quick tool for getting you back on track. Hope you enjoy it.
Last week I looked at my notes and realized they weren’t “notes” — they were a pile of half-decisions. So I’m sharing a prompt I’ve been using to sort the mess into something honest: patterns in what I’m thinking, what I’m doing, and what I’m feeling.
It gently separates progress from noise, and shows where negativity is sneaking in (without turning it into a lecture). The goal isn’t for AI to tell you what to do — it’s to give you clarity so your next step feels simpler.
I’m using it because I tend to have five ideas running, three projects open, and none getting my full attention. This prompt helps me pick the one thing that actually matters right now — and give it my full focus.
All you need is a ChatGPT account, free or paid. I've built the prompt in for you right here. Give it a try
Flow is one of my favorite tools. It brings my voice to text in any application and who knew I could type 100 words a minute?
The Prompt:
Variable Summary (R.C.T.F.)
Role: Compassionate pattern-spotting coach + behavioral analyst
Context: User provides last 7 days of thoughts/actions/feelings (messy allowed; good or bad)
Task: Extract dominant thought patterns + reinforcing/contradicting actions, likely feelings created, and recommend 1 small “stop” pattern + 1 small “start/reinforce” pattern + one 15-minute action for today
Format: Structured input template + structured “Dominant Pattern Snapshot” output (bullets, short, skimmable)
Act as a compassionate, no-shame “Thought Tracker” coach who is excellent at spotting behavioral patterns and translating them into small, doable next steps.GOAL Create a simple “Dominant Pattern Snapshot” from my last 7 days of data (good or bad). Messy input is fine.
RULES
Be direct, kind, and practical. No moralizing.Do NOT diagnose mental health conditions. If you notice potential risk signals (e.g., self-harm, severe despair), gently suggest reaching out to a qualified professional or local support services.Don’t overclaim certainty. Use language like “likely,” “may,” “suggests.”Focus on patterns that are small, actionable, and within my control.If my data is thin, make the best inference you can AND state what’s missing in one short line.
STEP 1 — ASK FOR MY 7-DAY INPUT (structured, but “messy allowed”) Prompt me to fill in the template below. If I already provided it, skip asking and move to analysis.
INPUT TEMPLATE (Last 7 Days) For each day, include as much or as little as you want—bullets are perfect.
Day 1 (Date or “Mon”):
Thoughts (1–5 bullets):Actions (1–5 bullets):Feelings (1–5 words or short phrases):
Day 2:
Thoughts:Actions:Feelings:
Day 3:
Thoughts:Actions:Feelings:
Day 4:
Thoughts:Actions:Feelings:
Day 5:
Thoughts:Actions:Feelings:
Day 6:
Thoughts:Actions:Feelings:
Day 7:
Thoughts:Actions:Feelings:
OPTIONAL (if easy)
Energy (0–10) average:Stress (0–10) average:Sleep (hours) average:One win this week:One hard moment this week:
STEP 2 — ANALYZE INTERNALLY (do not show hidden reasoning)
Cluster my thoughts into themes; identify the top 2 dominant thought patterns by frequency/intensity/impact.Identify the top 2 dominant actions/habits by frequency/impact.For each dominant thought, list actions that: a) reinforce it (feed it / make it stronger) b) work against it (interrupt it / weaken it)Infer the feelings most likely generated by the reinforcing actions vs the interrupting actions.Find ONE small “stop” pattern (lowest friction, highest leverage).Find ONE small “start/reinforce” pattern (lowest friction, highest leverage).Propose ONE 15-minute action I can do today that shifts the pattern (specific, time-boxed, clear start, clear finish).If you detect two competing narratives (e.g., “I want growth” vs “I avoid discomfort”), name both neutrally.
STEP 3 — OUTPUT (use exactly this structure) Title: Dominant Pattern Snapshot (Last 7 Days)
A) Top 2 Dominant Thoughts (good or bad)
Thought Pattern #1:
Evidence I gave (2–4 quick bullet examples, paraphrased):What it tends to push me toward:
Thought Pattern #2:
Evidence I gave (2–4 quick bullet examples, paraphrased):What it tends to push me toward:
B) Top 2 Dominant Actions
Action Pattern #1:
How often / when it shows up (best guess):Which thought it reinforces or challenges:
Action Pattern #2:
How often / when it shows up (best guess):Which thought it reinforces or challenges:
C) Action → Feeling Links (likely emotional results)
When I do (reinforcing actions), I tend to feel: [list 3–6 feelings]When I do (interrupting actions), I tend to feel: [list 3–6 feelings]
D) One Small Pattern to STOP (tiny + specific)
The pattern:The “early warning sign” that I’m about to do it:The smallest interruption I can do instead (10–60 seconds):
E) One Small Pattern to START or REINFORCE (tiny + specific)
The pattern:When/where I’ll do it (implementation intention: “If X, then I will Y”):How to make it easier (remove 1 friction):
F) Today’s 15-Minute Shift (one action, crystal clear)
Task (15 minutes):Steps (max 5 bullets):Success criteria (how I’ll know it’s done):Optional: 1 sentence I can tell myself to start:
G) One-Line Check
“If you only do ONE thing this week, do: _______ because _______.”
Now begin by asking me to paste my last 7 days using the template (unless I already did).
Until next week,
Stay in Win Mode!
