Book-to-Action Plan
Turn the book you just read into specific actions you'll actually take this month.
Claude
Excellent summarization and careful about not inventing quotes.
The prompt
Fill in the [BRACKETS] with your details, then paste it into Claude.
I just finished [BOOK TITLE] by [AUTHOR]. Here are my highlights/notes: [PASTE, or "none"]. 1. Summarize the book's core ideas in 5 bullets (if I didn't provide notes, tell me where your summary may be incomplete and don't invent quotes). 2. Pick the 3 ideas most relevant to my situation: [YOUR GOALS/CONTEXT]. 3. For each idea, create a concrete action I can start this week, a 30-day experiment, and how I'll know it worked. 4. One-page cheat sheet I can print.
