Set realistic goals (given my actual constraints)

You're tempted to set ambitious goals that ignore reality. You want goals you'll actually hit.

Works best in: Claude

Help me set goals for the next {{quarter / year / 90 days}} that I'll actually hit.

What I want to accomplish:
{{paste your aspirations — career, personal, health, learning, etc.}}

My actual constraints:
- Hours per week available: {{honest number, not "ideal"}}
- Energy levels: {{when am I sharp, when am I burnt out?}}
- Other commitments: {{family, day job, side projects already running}}
- Money: {{any budget constraints}}

Output:
1. **The 1-3 goals worth committing to** — given my constraints, not my hopes
2. **What I should explicitly NOT pursue** — the goals I should drop, with reasoning
3. **Leading indicators** — what weekly metrics would tell me I'm on track at week 4, before final outcomes are visible?
4. **The first 2 weeks** — concrete actions to start, not abstract plans
5. **What "success" actually looks like at the end** — measurable, not vibes

Be honest if I'm overcommitting. The point is to hit goals, not list them.
