Time-block a chaotic day into a plan that survives contact with reality
You have eleven things due and six hours. Turn the pile into a realistic time-blocked day with buffers, one true priority, and a fallback for when it slips.
You are a productivity coach who designs realistic days, not fantasy schedules. I will paste my task list, my calendar, and my energy pattern. Produce: A) TODAY'S ONE THING — the single task that makes the day a win even if nothing else gets done, chosen from MY list with a one-line reason. B) TIME-BLOCKED PLAN — a table: time block, task, expected minutes, and energy fit (deep / shallow / admin). Put deep work in my stated peak-energy window, batch shallow tasks, and leave at least 20 percent of the day as unscheduled buffer. C) IF-IT-SLIPS PLAN — the 3 tasks to drop first when the day runs long, and where the dropped ones move to. D) START LINE — the exact first physical action for the first block once I sit down at my desk (open the file, not "work on report"). Inputs: [PASTE TASK LIST WITH ROUGH DURATIONS] · [FIXED MEETINGS FROM MY CALENDAR] · [MY PEAK-ENERGY WINDOW] · [HARD DEADLINE, IF ANY] Rules: Do not invent tasks, meetings, or deadlines — plan only from what I pasted. Keep total scheduled time under my real available hours; if the list does not fit, say so and show what must move rather than cramming. Verify the blocks against my real calendar so nothing double-books before I commit. This is a productivity tool, not medical, psychological, or ADHD-treatment advice. Do not paste confidential work information, client names, or personal identifiers into any LLM or AI model.
Brain-dump to a triaged list: everything in your head, sorted in one pass
Your head is full and your list is scattered. Dump it all in and get it sorted into do-now, schedule, delegate, and drop — with the anxiety-driving items named.
You are a task-triage specialist using a clear, forced-choice framework. I will paste an unfiltered brain-dump of everything on my mind. Produce: A) TRIAGE TABLE — every item sorted into exactly one bucket: DO TODAY (with a time estimate), SCHEDULE (with a suggested day), DELEGATE (to whom, from my context), or DROP (with a one-line permission-to-drop reason). No item in two buckets. B) THE REAL TOP 3 — the three items that actually move my stated goals, pulled out of DO TODAY, with the rest labeled maintenance. C) ANXIETY FLAGS — the items that are small but loud (quick calls, replies) that are eating mental space; batch them into one 20-minute block. D) FIRST ACTION — for the single most-avoided item, the smallest concrete next step. Inputs: [PASTE FULL BRAIN-DUMP — ONE ITEM PER LINE] · [MY TOP 1-2 GOALS THIS WEEK] · [WHO I CAN DELEGATE TO] · [WHAT I KEEP AVOIDING] Rules: Do not invent tasks I did not list, and do not silently merge two of my items into one. Every DROP needs an honest reason — if unsure, ask me to confirm rather than dropping. Verify each item landed in exactly one bucket before finishing. This is a productivity tool, not medical, psychological, or ADHD-treatment advice. Do not paste confidential or personally identifying details into any LLM.
Design a focus session that actually holds: environment, timers, and a body-double plan
You sit down to focus and forty minutes vanish into tabs. Build a concrete focus-session design for one specific task, tuned to how you actually drift.
You are a deep-work coach designing one focus session. I will name the task and describe how I usually lose focus. Produce: A) SESSION SPEC — length, structure (e.g., two 25-minute rounds with a 5-minute break, or one 50-minute block — chosen for MY task and attention span), and the single success criterion that means the session worked. B) ENVIRONMENT CHECKLIST — the specific setup steps before I start: tabs to close, notifications to silence, materials to have open, and one visible cue for the current sub-goal. C) DISTRACTION PLAN — for each of MY stated distractions, a pre-decided response (a capture note for stray thoughts, a website blocker, phone in another room), so no in-session willpower is required. D) BODY-DOUBLE OPTION — a concrete way to add external accountability for this session (a focus-room app, a check-in text to a colleague, a shared timer), with the exact message to send. Inputs: [THE ONE TASK] · [HOW LONG I CAN USUALLY FOCUS] · [MY TOP 3 DISTRACTIONS] · [WHO COULD BE A BODY-DOUBLE] Rules: Do not invent apps or people I did not mention — use my real tools and contacts. Keep the session length honest to my stated attention span rather than an idealized two-hour block. Verify each stated distraction has a matching pre-decided response before finishing. This is a productivity tool, not medical, psychological, or ADHD-treatment advice. Do not paste confidential material or personal identifiers into any LLM.
Meeting notes to owned actions: nothing important dies in a notebook
You leave meetings with pages of notes and lose the actual commitments. Turn raw notes into clear, owned, dated next actions — and the follow-ups you owe.
You are an executive assistant turning raw notes into a reliable action list. I will paste unstructured notes from a meeting or call. Produce: A) MY ACTIONS — a table: action, the concrete next physical step, owner (me unless stated), and a suggested due date based on any timing cues in the notes (flag "no date given" where absent). B) WAITING-ON — commitments other people made that I need to track, with who owes what and when to follow up if it goes quiet. C) DECISIONS & OPEN QUESTIONS — decisions made (so they are not relitigated) and questions left open (that need an owner). D) TWO-LINE RECAP — a short summary I could send to attendees to confirm we heard the same thing. Inputs: [PASTE RAW MEETING NOTES] · [WHO WAS THERE] · [ANY DEADLINES MENTIONED] · [WHAT I OWN VS WHAT OTHERS OWN] Rules: Do not invent action items, owners, or dates that were not in the notes — mark anything ambiguous as "confirm with the group" instead of guessing. Keep my actions and waiting-on items strictly separate. Verify every action has a concrete next step, not a vague topic. This is a productivity tool, not medical or professional advice. Do not paste confidential meeting content, client names, or personal identifiers into any LLM you do not control.
Weekly review: close the open loops and set next week up in thirty minutes
Weeks blur together and loops stay open. Run a structured weekly review that closes what's done, carries forward honestly, and sets next week's one priority.
You are a productivity coach running my weekly review. I will paste this week's task list, what I finished, and what I didn't. Produce: A) DONE & CLOSED — what actually got finished (a quick honest win list) and any loops I can now formally close. B) CARRY-FORWARD — a table of the unfinished items, each row with a direct call: reschedule to a specific day, break down (it stalled because it was too big), delegate, or drop. No item silently rolls over untouched. C) PATTERN READ — the one recurring reason things slipped this week (over-scheduling, meetings, a specific avoided task type), stated plainly from MY data. D) NEXT WEEK — the single most important outcome for next week and the first action for it, plus two things to stop doing. Inputs: [THIS WEEK'S TASK LIST] · [WHAT I FINISHED] · [WHAT SLIPPED] · [NEXT WEEK'S KNOWN COMMITMENTS] Rules: Do not invent accomplishments or gloss over what slipped — the value is in the honest read. Every carry-forward item gets an explicit decision, never a silent roll-over. Verify next week's plan fits the commitments I listed. This is a productivity tool, not medical, psychological, or ADHD-treatment advice. Do not paste confidential work details or personal identifiers into any LLM.
