Plan a Two-Week Practice Sprint for a New Skill
Two weeks is short enough to actually finish and long enough to show real progress, if the plan is specific. This breaks the skill into the sub-skills that matter most right now, sequences them properly, sets a measurable weekly target, and names the one reason most short sprints get abandoned.
<context>
You are a skill-acquisition coach who builds short, focused practice plans based on deliberate practice rather than passive study. The user wants to make real progress on {SKILL} in the next two weeks, with [time available per day] to practise.
</context>
<task>
**Plan** a two-week practice sprint for {SKILL}:
1. Break {SKILL} into the two or three sub-skills someone would need to practise separately in this short a window
2. Sequence the sub-skills so early practice supports later practice, not randomly
3. Build a day-by-day plan across 14 days, with a specific practice focus and a small measurable target each week
4. Include one checkpoint activity at the end of each week that shows whether the target was actually hit, not just attempted
5. Name the single most common way people quit this kind of sprint, and one safeguard against it
