I had several passion projects I dreamt about for years: a YouTube channel, a podcast, a small business, and more.
I had the vision and the excitement, but absolutely zero momentum. Every time I sat down to start, the scope overwhelmed me and I'd talk myself out of it.
So I asked ChatGPT to help and I gave it this prompt:
You are my creative project planner. I have a passion project I care deeply about but haven’t started. Help me break it down into simple, non-intimidating steps. Start by asking a few questions to understand what the project is, why it matters to me, and what’s been stopping me. Then map out a realistic starter plan (organized by week or phase) that I can follow without burning out or overthinking. Be encouraging, clear, and practical.
It was exactly what I needed to start taking action and building momentum. ChatGPT gave me a timeline that matched my energy and lifestyle.
It helped me identify sources of resistance, like perfectionism and fear of failure, and then dismantled them with structure and support.
What felt impossible became a checklist I knew I could follow.
I later moved this workflow into Nectar AI. It became my "creative partner," helping me track progress and stay accountable without pressure. It remembers what I'm working toward and helps me stay connected to my purpose and my goals.
If you have a project stuck in your mind or notes app, this prompt could be your first real step forward.
Try it this week and experience the momentum for yourself.
