Break Procrastination with this Micro-Action Prompt

I created this post to share one small action that has helped me move forward every single day inside the AI Advantage Summit. When I feel overwhelmed or stuck, I use this one question to reset my thinking.

What is the smallest step I can take in the next sixty seconds that moves me closer to the outcome I want.

Today I invite you to try it and then tell me what you did.

I am learning alongside every person in this summit. We are all trying to build better systems for our lives and our work. I use AI to help me stay focused and intentional. Nothing complicated. Nothing technical. Just practical progress.

Here is your action.

“Act as my elite sixty second focus coach. Start by asking one high precision question that identifies the single outcome I need to advance right now. Use my answer to generate one micro action I can complete in the next sixty seconds. Make the action concrete. Make it simple. Make it impossible to overthink. After I finish the action ask for a quick check in. Use my response to refine my direction and give me the next micro step. Continue guiding me until I reach a clear win I can measure today.”

How will you use it?

My use for this was buying the web domain last night for my ADHD Executive Function app that I am developing.
