These are the three conversations we tell people to have with Claude first, with the word-for-word prompts to start them. Open the newest Claude (Fable 5), paste one, and talk. The first takes 20 minutes on a Sunday night.
System 1 - The Sunday System
Most people plan their week in the car on Monday morning. By Wednesday the plan is gone and the week is running them. The Sunday System is a 20-minute conversation with Claude every Sunday night that reviews last week and builds the next one before it starts.
- What it does: Claude asks what worked last week, what drained you, and what got dropped. Then it helps you set your top 3 priorities, block them on the calendar, and pick the one thing you will say no to.
- Why it works: Saying no to one thing on purpose beats dropping three things by accident. You choose the sacrifice before the week chooses it for you. That is the whole trick.
System 2 - The Decision Maker
A big choice is coming. The job, the move, the money. Most people do not lack information, they lack a place to think out loud that is not their own head at 2am. The Decision Maker lays out what is actually true, then hands the decision back to you, where it belongs.
- What it does: Describe one big choice. Claude maps the real tradeoffs of each option, tells you what you would say to a friend in your exact spot, and names the thing you might be avoiding.
- Why it works: The friend test cuts through fear fast. Most people already know their answer, they just have not heard themselves say it yet. Claude advises. You decide.
System 3 - The Energy Audit
You do not need more hours. You need fewer hours that drain you. The Energy Audit maps one normal week and sorts it into what fuels you and what empties you. Then you change one block on the calendar. Just one. That is the whole assignment.
- What it does: Walk Claude through a normal week, day by day. It sorts your hours into fuel and drain, then suggests one specific calendar change to test next week.
- Why it works: One drained hour repeats 52 times a year. Move a single weekly block, a meeting, a chore, a scroll session, and you just changed 52 hours of your life.
Run It Tonight - Three Steps, Twenty Minutes
You do not need to wait for a Sunday. Tonight counts. Pick the conversation that hits the sorest spot and have it.
- Open Claude: Go to Claude and start a new chat. Pick the newest model (Fable 5). Nothing to buy, nothing to install, nothing tracking you.
- Paste and talk: Copy one prompt from this guide. Fill the green blanks with your real week or your real choice. Answer its questions honestly. That is the work.
- Change one thing: Book the calendar blocks yourself. Say the one no out loud. Then set a repeating reminder: Sunday, 8pm, 20 minutes.
A Thinking Partner, With the Lines Drawn on Purpose
The guardrails are baked into every prompt. Here is where Claude stops and you, or a professional, take over.
- It only knows what you tell it: Claude works from your words, asks when something is unclear, and never fills in your life story on its own.
- It advises, you decide: Every prompt keeps the final call with you. Nothing lands on your calendar unless you put it there.
- It is not a therapist or a doctor: Big mental health, medical, legal, and money calls belong with real professionals, and the prompts say so out loud.
- Nothing runs on its own: No tracker, no auto-anything. It is a conversation you start on purpose, once a week.
