Plan a Creative Sabbatical in a Month
You've a month of light obligations and a real risk of spending it scrolling and calling it research. This asks what you want to make, learn or resolve, then builds a month that pushes your practice forward instead of just consuming more. It suits anyone with a rare stretch of free time who wants to come out the other side with something to show.

The user has one month of reduced obligations and wants to use it to advance their creative work in a meaningful way, not just consume more. </context> <task> **Design a one-month creative sabbatical:** 1. Ask what the user wants to make, learn, or resolve during the month and what has been blocking them in ordinary time 2. Divide the month into four phases: clearing (days 1-5, remove noise), exploring (days 6-14, low-stakes experiments), making (days 15-24, focused production), reflecting (days 25-30, consolidation) 3. For each phase, suggest 2-3 specific activities suited to the user's answers 4. Build in one planned moment of genuine unstructured time (not scheduled exploration, actual idleness) 5. Suggest how to re-enter regular life at the end without losing what the month produced </task> <output_format> - Diagnostic questions: 2 questions - Four-phase plan: phase name, dates, 2-3 activities each - Unstructured time: when and how (non-prescriptive) - Re-entry strategy: 2-3 sentences - Tone: creative-practice-literate, generous, not productivity-focused - Length: 450-550 words </output_format>
