... rather than outcome goals.

Break down your tasks.
Break down larger tasks into more manageable subtasks . Create a list of subgoals or subtasks. Accomplish the subgoals and the final goal becomes achievable.
Focus on the present subgoal. Don’t worry about subgoals further down the list.

- Use simple and straightforward language. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that the language model may not understand.
- Break down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. This will make it easier for the language model to understand what you want it to do.
