Set your context. This isn't graded — it just tunes what comes next.
Your call first. Pick everything that might apply, then commit to your top 3. You'll see how that compares after you choose.
Don't name a category — just name the feeling. Pick the one that fits right now.
Based on what you need. Check it against your own gut.
Copy this into your AI of choice. The blanks in CAPS are yours to fill — that's the part that keeps it your work.
You're not behind as a person. One piece of a robot is being stubborn. That's all this is.
AI is a tool to avoid overwhelm — not the escape hatch from it. When you're ready, close this and the bench will still be here.
