☕🤖Tutorial: Turn ChatGPT Into Your Mid-Year Reset Partner
PLUS: everything you need + all prompts inside...
Hey AI Breakers 👋 It’s June. Half the year is gone, and those goals you set in January are buried under six months of firefighting.
Today, you’ll build an AI Mid-Year Reset Partner that runs a brutal, honest review of your first half and rebuilds a focused plan for the second.
✅ A scored H1 review (what worked, what quietly stalled)
✅ Your real position right now, not the story you tell yourself
✅ 3 sharp goals for H2 (and a list of what you’re dropping)
✅ A 90-day rollout that turns goals into weekly action
✅ A weekly tracking ritual that survives past week three
✅ A one-page H2 plan you’ll actually look at
Let’s build it 👇
🧠 How the Mid-Year Reset Works
Most people “review the year” by skimming their notes and feeling vaguely behind. This is different.
You’ll run 6 chained prompts. Each one feeds the next, so by the end you have a finished plan, not a pile of reflections.
📊 Look back → score H1 honestly and find the real lessons
📍 Locate yourself → where you actually are vs. where you planned to be
🎯 Choose → 3 goals that matter, everything else cut
🗺️ Map → goals broken into a 90-day rollout
🔁 Sustain → a weekly ritual so the plan doesn’t die in July
📄 Compress → the whole thing on one page
Old way: a vague Sunday-night reflection you forget by Tuesday. AI way: a full reset in about 60 minutes.
📊 Prompt #1 → The H1 Autopsy (an honest look back, no sugarcoating)
Before you plan forward, you need the truth about the last six months. This prompt turns your messy memory into a scored review.
The goal:
Score your H1 across the areas that actually matter
Separate real wins from busy work
Surface the patterns behind what stalled
✅ Use this to start the reset with facts instead of vibes.
Prompt:
You are my strategic advisor running a brutally honest mid-year review.
I will paste a brain dump of my first half of the year.
Your job:
1. Extract everything I worked on, shipped, started, or abandoned.
2. Group it into these areas:
-- Revenue / Sales
-- Product / Delivery
-- Marketing / Growth
-- Team / Hiring
-- Operations / Systems
-- Personal / Energy
3. For each area, give:
-- a score out of 10
-- one sentence on what actually happened
-- one real win and one honest miss
4. Tell me the 3 biggest lessons from H1 (be direct, not nice).
5. Flag anything I am clearly avoiding.
Here is my brain dump for January through June:
[paste everything: goals you set, what you shipped, what slipped, numbers if you have them, how you felt]
Output as a clean scored table, then the lessons below it.🧠 Tip: Dump more than feels comfortable. Half-finished projects and the stuff you keep putting off are exactly where the lessons hide.
📍 Prompt #2 → The Reality Check (where you actually are vs. the plan)
Now we compare the goals you set in January against where you landed. No flinching.
The goal:
Measure the gap between intention and reality
Diagnose why the gaps exist, not just that they do
Decide which original goals still deserve a spot
✅ Use this to stop dragging dead goals into the second half.
