Do you start each year full of energy and by March the spark is gone? Often the problem isn’t willpower but the lack of a concrete plan. With Gemini you can turn a vague idea into actionable steps: personalized plans, scheduled actions, and reminders that actually fit your life.
10 practical prompts you can adapt today
Here are 10 ready-to-use prompts. Translate the examples to your situation and remember: the more details you give (times, resources, constraints), the better Gemini’s response will be.
-
Personalized training plan
Tell Gemini your starting point and goal to get a progressive calendar that increases load over time. Want reminders about specific conditions, like only using a treadmill? Ask for that.
Prompt:
I want to run the New York City Marathon in 6 months. I finished a half marathon in 2 hours and I can train 5 days a week. Create a monthly training plan that increases my endurance. -
Clear out and organize your home
Turn an overwhelming project into micro-tasks of 15 or 20 minutes a day. Using Gemini Live? Share your camera for real-time feedback.
Prompt:
I want to organize and declutter my apartment this month. Create a 30-day plan with daily tasks of up to 20 minutes that do not require buying anything new. -
Learn a new language
Ask for a curriculum tailored to the time you have, interactive exercises, and flashcards. Gemini can also generate quizzes to measure progress.
Prompt:
I want to learn basic French. Generate a guided 30-day plan by topics, an interactive quiz on conjugations, and a set of 50 flashcards with phrases. -
Move forward in your career
Practice mock interviews, analyze recordings of your presentations, and even improve your headshot with retouching tools.
Prompt:
I have an interview next week for [position]. Simulate a conversational interview focused on behavioral questions. Then, after I upload my practice video, create a report with feedback on speaking pace, body language, and filler words. -
Eat healthier
Request weekly menus adapted to your diet and cooking time, with a ready-to-use grocery list.
Prompt:
I want to eat healthier. Every Sunday at 9 a.m., please create a 7-day dinner plan high in protein and vegetarian-friendly. I have 45 minutes to cook each night. Include a shopping list. -
Improve your budget
If you connect your apps or upload a spreadsheet, Gemini can spot non-essential spending and propose weekly saving rules.
Prompt:
Analyze the Google Sheet with my monthly expenses for the last quarter. Identify 3 areas of non-essential spending and propose weekly budgeting rules to save 15%. -
Create a manageable reading list
Avoid the “stack of books” syndrome by asking Gemini for monthly recommendations and a realistic pace to read and reflect on what you learn.
Prompt:
I want to read 12 business books in 2026. Schedule a recurring action for the first day of each month: suggest 5 non-fiction titles about advertising and create a reading and review plan for that month. -
Replace a bad habit
Identify triggers and define concrete alternatives for each critical moment.
Prompt:
I want to reduce my phone time by 2 hours a week. Outline a Habit Replacement Plan that identifies my typical triggers and suggests an alternative activity for each. -
Beat the blank page
To build creative consistency, ask for low-friction ideas you can execute in minutes.
Prompt:
Give me 7 unique one-line journaling prompts for this week that encourage reflection on my goals and progress. -
Plan for the long term
Once you have traction, ask Gemini for a maintenance plan to turn a habit into a lifestyle and to scale the goal.
Prompt:
It's July 1. I've kept my resolution [name of resolution] for 6 months. Create a 3-part maintenance plan to turn this into a permanent habit and set a bigger goal for the rest of 2026.
How to get more out of these prompts
-
Be specific: hours, resources, prior experience, and limitations help create realistic plans.
-
Schedule recurring actions: ask Gemini to add tasks to your calendar or send weekly reminders.
-
Connect apps or upload data: a file with your expenses, a photo, or a practice video increases the accuracy of the help.
-
Use Gems (customized versions of Gemini): create an assistant that remembers your goals and preferences without restarting the conversation.
-
Adjust and iterate: start with a moderate plan and ask Gemini to modify it based on your progress.
A good plan can be the difference between an idea and a lasting habit. Don’t wait to feel 100 percent motivated: create a step-by-step map and make small daily commitments.
