| No.   | Micro-Habit                     | Examples                                                  | Why It Works                            |
| ----- | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **1** | **Say what you want**           | Start your prompt with: “I want help with…”               | Forces intention clarity                |
| **2** | **Name your audience**          | Add: “This is for a beginner / manager / student…”        | Adjusts tone + depth                    |
| **3** | **Add one example**             | “Here’s something I wrote / found / like…”                | Gives model a pattern to follow         |
| **4** | **Ask for 2 versions**          | “Can you give me two different takes?”                    | Prevents over-reliance on first output  |
| **5** | **Tell it what you don’t want** | “Avoid jargon / buzzwords / too much fluff…” / Fact check | Sets negative constraints simply        |
| **6** | **Talk back once**              | “This isn’t quite right. I meant more like…”              | Builds confidence in shaping the result |
| **7** | **Save what worked**            | Bookmark or copy prompts that helped you                  | Seeds a *feedback loop*                 |
