Turn research into a 30-day action plan

Strategy & decisionsGoes in: Chat

Turns a notebook into a week-by-week plan with concrete milestones instead of a list of takeaways. For operators and founders moving from research to execution.

Shared by Sourclip — credit where it's due.

Convert this notebook into a 30-day action plan for someone applying what they just learned.

Structure exactly as:

Goal — In one sentence, the single most important outcome the sources suggest aiming for over the next 30 days.

Week 1 — Foundation.
3 actions. For each: what to do (one verb-led line), why (cite the source that supports it), and the smallest credible "done" condition.

Week 2 — Build.
3 actions, same format. These should compound on Week 1.

Week 3 — Pressure-test.
3 actions, same format. These should expose whether the plan is working.

Week 4 — Decide.
2 actions, same format, plus one explicit decision point: "If X by end of week 4, do Y; otherwise Z." Both branches must be grounded in the notebook.

Constraints:
- No action longer than one sentence.
- Every action must cite a source.
- If two actions overlap, merge them. Twelve actions max across the whole plan.
- If the notebook can't support a week, write "Not enough evidence for Week N — here's what to research first" instead of fabricating tasks.
