Stay Inspired.
We hit 1,000.
You're part of the first 1,000 people who believed Promptastic was worth your time. Before it was obvious. Before everyone else showed up.
Last night when we crossed 1,000 users, my first thought was: "Great. Now we need 10,000."
My second thought: "Wait. Stop."
I almost let that moment pass without actually feeling it.
Here's what I'm learning:
If you can't be present with your victories, you'll never feel like you've arrived—no matter how far you go.
There will always be another milestone. Another target. Another number that feels like "enough."
But if you don't stop (even for a moment) to acknowledge where you are, the journey becomes a treadmill.
And here's the thing: You're probably doing this too.
November 10th. You're 10 days in. Maybe you're crushing it. Maybe you're not.
Either way, I bet you're not feeling it. You're already looking at the next thing. The gap between where you are and where you "should" be.
You're missing the milestone right in front of you.
Why this matters:
Those 10 days weren't nothing. You showed up. You made decisions. You moved forward.
But you can't see it. Because you're too busy measuring the distance to the finish line.
Both things can be true:
You can celebrate how far you've come AND keep building.
You can be present with what you've achieved AND stay hungry.
You can acknowledge the milestone AND get back to work.
Presence fuels momentum better than anxiety does.
The bottom line:
We're 1,000 strong now. You're part of something being built in real-time. By people who showed up early. Who took this seriously before it was obvious.
So today, we're pausing. Together. Not to stop. But to acknowledge.
To see how far we've come in these first 10 days.
Then we get back to work.
Prompt of The Week: The Milestone You're Missing
The Challenge: You're 10 days into November. You've been grinding. But you haven't stopped to see what you've actually accomplished.
The Solution: Two prompts to help you identify wins you've been rushing past and turn them into fuel for the next 20 days.
Most people treat milestones like checkpoints in a video game. You hit them and immediately forget them because you're already focused on the next one.
But here's the problem: If you never pause to acknowledge progress, your brain never registers that you're winning.
And if your brain doesn't think you're winning, it's really hard to stay motivated.
These prompts help you:
See the wins you've been missing (even the small ones)
Feel them (actually let them land)
Use them as fuel to keep building
PROMPT 1: THE MILESTONE FINDER
For people who need to see their progress clearly
This prompt helps you identify what you've actually accomplished in the first 10 days of November—things you've been too busy to notice.
You'll walk away with a clear list of wins and a renewed sense of momentum.
The Prompt:
You are my progress coach for the first 10 days of November 2025.
I've been grinding, but I haven't stopped to see what I've actually accomplished. Help me find the milestones I'm missing.
Guide me through this process:
1. FIRST - Ask me these questions (one at a time):
- What was your main focus for the first 10 days of November?
- What did you actually DO in those 10 days? (Even small things count)
- What felt hard but you did it anyway?
- What's one thing you're closer to now than you were on November 1st?
2. AFTER each answer:
- Reflect it back to me as a WIN (not just an action)
- Help me see why it matters
- Ask ONE follow-up to go deeper
3. ONCE you have all my answers:
- Create a "First 10 Days of November" victory list
- Include:
* What I accomplished (be specific)
* Why each thing matters (even if it feels small)
* What it reveals about my character/commitment
* The momentum I'm building
- Make it real. Not inflated. Just... true.
4. FINALLY:
- Show me how these wins connect to my bigger goals
- Help me see: I'm not starting from zero. I'm 10 days in and already moving.
Let's start. Ask me the first question.PROMPT 2: THE MOMENTUM BUILDER
For people who want to turn their wins into fuel
This prompt takes your progress from the first 10 days and helps you use it to power through the next 20.
You'll walk away knowing exactly how to keep building without burning out.
The Prompt:
You are helping me build momentum for the rest of November using what I've already accomplished.
Here's the challenge: I've made progress in the first 10 days, but now I need to sustain it for 20 more days without losing steam.
Guide me:
1. START by asking:
- What's one thing you did in the first 10 days that actually worked?
- What gave you energy vs. what drained you?
- If you could ONLY do 3 things for the rest of November, what would they be?
2. AFTER each answer:
- Ask ONE follow-up to make it more specific
- Help me separate what's working from what I'm doing out of obligation
3. ONCE you understand what's working:
- Create a "Next 20 Days" plan that includes:
* The 1-3 things I should double down on (because they're working)
* What I should stop doing (even if it feels productive)
* How to celebrate small wins along the way (so I stay motivated)
* One weekly check-in question to keep me honest
- Keep it sustainable. I want to finish November strong, not burned out.
4. THROUGHOUT:
- Remind me: momentum comes from doing LESS better, not MORE frantically
- Help me see that presence + consistency beats hustle + anxiety
Let's begin. Ask me the first question.The Connection:
Last week we gave you two ways to write your November: the planner's path and the feeler's path.
This week? We're helping you see November.
Because you can't appreciate a milestone you don't acknowledge. And you can't build momentum from progress you don't notice.
These prompts help you pause long enough to see how far you've come so you can keep going with clarity instead of anxiety.
The first 1,000 of us are building something together. Let's make sure we actually feel it.

You were right.

They'll thank you for it.
