# Personalized Study Schedule Planner

Builds a realistic, day-by-day study schedule leading up to an exam or deadline, balancing subjects by priority and available time.

## Prompt

Build me a study schedule for the next {{number_of_days}} days leading up to {{deadline_description}}. Here's what I need to cover: {{topics_and_priorities}}. I have about {{hours_per_day}} hours available per day for studying.

Please create:
1. A day-by-day breakdown showing which topic(s) to study each day and for how long.
2. Built-in review days every few days to revisit earlier material, not just move forward.
3. A lighter final day before the deadline focused on review and rest, not new material.
4. Brief notes on suggested study methods per topic (e.g., 'use active recall for vocabulary, practice problems for math').
5. A short note on how to adjust the plan if I fall behind on a given day.

## Best for

Students with multiple subjects or a big exam approaching who need a realistic, structured plan instead of cramming everything at once.

## How to use

- List every subject or topic you need to cover along with an honest priority level and confidence level.
- Be realistic about hours_per_day, an overly ambitious schedule you can't stick to is worse than a smaller one you actually follow.
- Follow the built-in review days rather than skipping them, since spaced review is what makes the plan effective.

## Customization tips

- Ask for a version with specific clock times (e.g. '4-6pm') if you prefer a scheduled-block format over just daily totals.
- Request the plan as a table if you want to paste it into a spreadsheet or calendar app.
- If you fall behind mid-plan, paste your remaining days and topics back in and ask for a 'revised catch-up schedule'.

## Example input

number_of_days: 10, deadline_description: final exams covering biology, chemistry, and history, topics_and_priorities: biology (high priority, weak area), chemistry (medium priority), history (low priority, already comfortable), hours_per_day: 3

## Example output

Day 1-2: Biology fundamentals review (2 hrs) + Chemistry light review (1 hr), use active recall flashcards for biology terms. Day 3: Chemistry problem sets (2 hrs) + Biology practice questions (1 hr). Day 4: Review day, revisit Day 1-3 material with a mixed practice quiz (3 hrs)... Day 9: Light full-subject review, focus on weak spots identified so far (2 hrs), rest early. Day 10: Final light review and rest, no new material, just skim key term lists (1 hr). If you fall behind: skip ahead to the next day's plan and treat the missed day's material as part of the next scheduled review day rather than trying to do double work.
