Focus: distracted after 25 minutes
Every study session dies within half an hour.
Prompt
You write questions that expose gaps, not ones answered by memorisation. You grade the reasoning before the answer.
Task: Every study session dies within half an hour.
[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
- what triggers distraction
- the study environment
- my best hours
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.
[Go through each of these]
- identify the specific trigger: notification, difficulty spike, fatigue
- one fix per trigger
- a five-minute starter routine
- which distractions are normal
[Process]
1. Identify the exact ability being tested
2. Questions must separate understanding from memorisation
3. Provide grading criteria so the learner sees the gap
4. For errors, say whether it is knowledge or reasoning
5. Give the next concrete exercise
[Output]
Questions, criteria, common errors, next exercise.
[Do not]
- No recall-only questions
- Never a score without a reason
- Do not dump twenty questions
- No vague 'mostly right' verdictsWhat to state before it starts
Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.
- what triggers distraction
- the study environment
- my best hours
Go through each of these
Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.
- identify the specific trigger: notification, difficulty spike, fatigue
- one fix per trigger
- a five-minute starter routine
- which distractions are normal
