Build a 30-day plan with Manus 1.5 to achieve any goal
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Manus 1.5 to reverse-engineer any goal into a 30-day execution plan with daily inputs, then import it directly to Google Calendar as a color-coded schedule.
Step-by-step:
Go to manus.im, select "Agent" mode (not standard chat) to enable autonomous file outputs and planning capabilities
Craft a detailed prompt: "Reverse-engineer [$X goal] into a 30-day execution plan with time-blocked daily inputs. Color-code by priority: 🔴Outreach 🟠Content 🟡Fulfillment 🟢Community 🔵Planning. Output calendar-ready ICS file in EST timezone"
Submit and let Manus generate your files: 30-day markdown plan, daily checklist, ICS calendar file, and summary with power hours and weekly anchors
Download the ICS file, open Google Calendar, click "+" under "Other calendars", select "Import", choose your ICS file, and destination calendar
Review your imported calendar with color-coded, time-blocked daily inputs ready to execute
Pro tip: If daily quotas feel off, tweak inputs in the prompt (e.g., raise follow-ups, reduce content time) and regenerate a new .ics. Inputs drive outcomes.
