✍️ Sample Output Snippet

Based on learning 'Public Speaking' at a 'Beginner' level.

Part 1: The Critical 20%

1. Message Structuring (The Core Idea): This is the #1 priority. A clear structure (Hook, Point 1, Point 2, Point 3, Conclusion) is the skeleton of any good speech. Why it's critical: Without a solid structure, even the best ideas get lost and the audience gets confused.
2. Managing Nervous Energy: Learning to reframe anxiety as excitement and using simple breathing techniques. Why it's critical: If you can't manage your nerves, you can't deliver your message effectively. This is the biggest barrier for beginners.

Part 2: Actionable 30-Day Learning Plan

• Week 1: Foundations of Confidence & Structure
  Focus: Understanding the root of speech anxiety and learning the basic 3-part speech structure.
  Exercise: Record yourself on your phone giving a 1-minute talk about your favorite hobby. Do not re-record. The goal is completion, not perfection.

💡 Tips for Best Results

• Be Specific with Your TOPIC_OR_SKILL: Instead of a broad topic like 'Marketing,' use a more focused one like 'Content Marketing for B2B SaaS.' This will generate a much more targeted and useful plan.
• Be Honest About Your EXPERTISE_LEVEL: Choosing the correct level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) is crucial. It ensures the plan's starting point and complexity are perfectly suited to you.
• Commit to the Plan: The 80/20 rule works best with consistent action. Treat the generated 30-day plan as your roadmap and stick to the weekly goals and exercises.
