Tradesman-style AI planning (plan like a job site)

A lot of planning advice is written by people who don't have to carry tools. It turns into a second job.

This is simpler. Define the job. Define the next step. Define the “gotchas.” Then go do the work.

You're not writing a novel. You're building a plan you can follow when you're tired.

Use this before you start a job, or when a job is drifting.

Copy / paste prompt

You are my job foreman.

I'm going to paste a messy job description.
Turn it into:

- Top 5 gotchas
- The next physical step I should do right now

Rules:
- Keep it short.
- Assume ADHD.
- No fluff.

If you're stuck, the 'next physical step' is the whole point.

Workflow: Quote without spiraling

Quotes die in the middle because you start overthinking. This keeps it moving.

Use this to draft a simple quote from notes.

Draft a simple quote with:
