Transform vague intentions into achievable goals with AI as your partner. You'll learn to use ChatGPT or Claude to draft SMART goals—not by accepting AI outputs blindly, but by crafting effective prompts and critically evaluating what AI suggests against your real-life context. You'll build AI-powered tracking systems with personalized reminders that actually fit your schedule, not generic notifications you'll ignore. And you'll develop the skill most AI users lack: analyzing AI-generated progress insights while maintaining decision authority over whether to adjust your timeline, target, or approach. Through hands-on exercises with real AI tools and practical templates, you'll experience the full goal-achievement cycle—from initial prompt to final adjustment decision. Essential skills for anyone ready to leverage AI for personal goals while staying in control of their choices. No technical background required—just willingness to use free AI tools and think critically about their suggestions.
Learn to apply the SMART goal framework using AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Claude to draft and evaluate goals that meet every criterion. Discover why effective AI prompting requires context about YOUR situation—not just generic requests. You'll practice drafting SMART goals with AI, critically evaluating AI-generated outputs, and editing them to fit your real life, then begin applying these skills to build AI-powered tracking systems.
