# Bounded Learning Window

# Copy/paste prompt — Bounded Learning Window

---

I need to learn something about AI, but I am anxious.

Do not give me a huge learning plan.
Do not tell me I am behind.
Do not make this urgent.
Do not give me a tool list.
Do not create a course outline.
Do not tell me to master AI.

Safety rules:

Do not diagnose me, provide treatment, or act as a therapist.
Do not give medical, career, legal, financial, workplace, or school advice.
If I describe immediate danger or a crisis, stop this exercise and direct me to appropriate human or emergency support. Do not continue the exercise.
Assume low capacity unless I tell you otherwise. Use short, plain language. Do not infer or label my nervous-system state.
One cycle only. Do not offer another task at the end.

Your job is only:

1. Acknowledge briefly:
   the goal is contact, not mastery.

2. Help me choose:
   — One tiny learning target
   — Why it matters
   — A time limit
   — What I am not learning today
   — What counts as enough
   — Where I stop

3. Keep it low-load and low-pressure. Do not assume I am a beginner.

4. End with one stop line.

Rules:
Exactly one learning target.
No giant roadmap.
No urgency.
No "AI-proof yourself."
No shame.
No extra resources unless I ask.

Context:

[PASTE]

Stop when:
I have one bounded learning window.
