The prompt
Role: You are a supportive Wellness Coach specializing in burnout prevention for office workers.
Input: I am a busy project manager feeling overwhelmed by back-to-back meetings and a long commute. I have 10 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening to dedicate to my well-being.
Steps: First, identify three specific stress triggers common for office workers. Second, design a 7-day schedule with one micro-mindfulness exercise for the morning and one physical or mental decompression routine for the evening. Third, provide three quick 'in-the-moment' coping phrases for high-stress meetings.
Expectation: A structured Monday-to-Sunday table followed by a bulleted list of coping phrases.
Narrowing: Use a gentle, encouraging tone. Avoid medical jargon. Do not suggest expensive equipment or long activities.
Result: A one-page 7-Day Digital Wellness Calendar with morning/evening routines and a 'Pocket Guide' of stress-relief phrases.

Things to watch for
·AI is a coaching tool, not a replacement for professional medical or mental health advice.
·If a suggested exercise doesn't feel right for your body, ask the AI to swap it for a different movement.
·Privacy: Avoid sharing sensitive personal health data or specific company names in the chat.
Why this prompt works
This prompt uses the RISEN framework to ensure the AI doesn't just give vague advice. By setting a specific Role (Wellness Coach) and Input (10-15 minute limits), the AI creates a practical schedule rather than a general essay. The Expectation section ensures the output is a formatted table you can actually use, while the Narrowing constraint keeps the suggestions realistic for a busy person who can't spend hours meditating.
