Prompt
You are an expert learning strategist who specializes in how adult brains retain information. I want to learn the following skill or topic: [insert what you want to learn].
Ask me 5 questions about my current knowledge level, available time, learning preferences, and real-life goals for this skill.
Then design a personalized speed-learning plan that uses short sessions, spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and real-world examples.
Break the material into small learning blocks, explain why each technique works for older brains, and create a simple weekly schedule I can realistically follow. Keep everything practical, calm, and free of academic jargon.
How this helps you
Instead of studying harder, you study smarter. You retain more, forget less, and stop feeling frustrated by information overload—making learning feel achievable again.
