It’s Monday morning. Here are all the tasks I need to handle this week: [LIST ALL TASKS]. Help me: (1) identify which 3 tasks will have the highest impact, (2) categorize everything else as delegate/defer/delete, (3) block out a suggested daily schedule with focus time protected. Be ruthless with prioritization.

Sort the following tasks into an Eisenhower Matrix (Urgent+Important / Important+Not Urgent / Urgent+Not Important / Neither): [LIST YOUR TASKS]. For each quadrant, give me the recommended action and explain your reasoning. Then recommend what I should focus on first thing tomorrow morning.

My goal is: [YOUR GOAL] and I want to achieve it by [DATE]. Break this down into: monthly milestones, weekly targets, and specific daily actions for the first 2 weeks. Identify the 3 biggest obstacles I’m likely to face and suggest how to prevent or overcome each one.

Help me design my ideal workday based on my energy patterns. I feel most alert: [TIME OF DAY]. I hit a slump around: [TIME]. My most creative work requires: [TYPE OF THINKING]. Create a day template that matches my high-energy periods to my highest-value work, with built-in recovery time.

I’ve been avoiding this task for [TIME PERIOD]: [DESCRIBE THE TASK]. Diagnose why I’m procrastinating — be specific and honest. Then give me: (1) the single smallest action I can take RIGHT NOW (under 2 minutes), (2) a strategy to make the task feel more manageable, (3) a commitment device to hold myself accountable.

I need to make serious progress on [PROJECT] in the next [TIME PERIOD]. Design a focused sprint plan: specific deliverables for each session, optimal session length for this type of work, suggested environment setup, and how to handle interruptions. Include a pre-sprint ritual to get into flow state faster.

I’m stuck on this decision: [DESCRIBE THE DECISION]. I’ve been going back and forth because: [YOUR HESITATION]. Apply the 10/10/10 rule (how will I feel about this in 10 minutes / 10 months / 10 years), identify the real cost of NOT deciding, and give me a clear recommendation with your reasoning. Be direct.

Here are all the recurring meetings on my calendar: [LIST MEETINGS WITH DURATION AND FREQUENCY]. For each one, tell me: (1) could this be replaced with an async update? (2) could the duration be cut in half? (3) do I need to attend at all? Give me specific scripts to propose changes without offending anyone.

Here’s an email I need to respond to: [PASTE EMAIL]. I want my reply to be: [TONE: professional/direct/warm]. The key points I need to communicate are: [YOUR POINTS]. Write a response that is concise (under 150 words), clear, and moves the conversation forward. Also suggest a subject line if it’s a new thread.

I need to have a difficult conversation with [PERSON/ROLE] about [TOPIC]. I’m worried about: [YOUR CONCERN]. Write me: (1) an opening statement that is direct but non-confrontational, (2) the 3 key points I need to make clearly, (3) how to respond if they get defensive, (4) how to end the conversation with a clear next step.

Here is a long document/report I need to summarize: [PASTE CONTENT]. Create: (1) a 3-sentence executive summary for busy stakeholders, (2) a bullet-point list of the 5 most important findings or action items, (3) one key risk or concern that deserves attention. Format it so someone can read it in under 2 minutes.

I’m running a [DURATION] meeting with [NUMBER] people about [TOPIC]. The goal is: [DESIRED OUTCOME]. Create a tight agenda with time allocations for each item, a parking lot section for off-topic issues, and 3 questions to send participants in advance so they come prepared. Include a clear decision point or next step at the end.

I’m considering: [YOUR DECISION OR PLAN]. Walk me through the second and third-order consequences of this choice. What are the likely downstream effects in 6 months? 2 years? Who else will be affected in ways I might not have considered? What’s the worst realistic outcome, and how could I mitigate it?

It’s [DATE] and my project [PROJECT NAME] has completely failed. Describe in detail the most likely reasons why it failed. Then work backwards: what early warning signs would have predicted this failure? What safeguards could I put in place NOW to prevent each failure mode? Be specific and pessimistic on purpose.

I’m considering taking on: [NEW PROJECT/COMMITMENT]. It will require approximately [TIME] per week for [DURATION]. Help me calculate the true opportunity cost: what am I giving up, what is the realistic upside vs. downside, and how does this fit with my top 3 priorities? Give me a clear go/no-go recommendation.

I need to delegate [TASK] to [PERSON/ROLE]. They have [SKILL LEVEL] experience with this type of work. Write me a clear delegation brief that includes: the outcome expected (not just the task), the constraints and non-negotiables, what good looks like, checkpoints for updates, and what authority they have to make decisions independently.

I need to create a Standard Operating Procedure for: [TASK/PROCESS]. This task currently takes me [TIME] and involves [BRIEF DESCRIPTION]. Write a step-by-step SOP that someone with no prior experience could follow. Include: purpose, tools needed, step-by-step instructions, common mistakes to avoid, and how to handle edge cases.

Here are the repetitive tasks I do every week: [LIST YOUR RECURRING TASKS WITH ESTIMATED TIME]. For each task, tell me: (1) can it be automated with existing tools? (2) can it be templated to reduce time? (3) should it be eliminated entirely? Prioritize by time saved and recommend specific tools or approaches.

I want to build this habit: [HABIT]. I’ve tried and failed before because: [REASON]. Design a habit system using: a specific trigger/cue, the smallest possible starting version, a reward mechanism, and environmental design changes. Also give me a 4-week progression plan and what to do if I miss a day.

Design my ideal morning routine. My constraints: I have [TIME AVAILABLE] before work starts. My top priority for the morning is: [GOAL, e.g., exercise/clear mind/creative work]. I currently struggle with: [PROBLEM]. Create a minute-by-minute morning routine that maximizes my energy and focus for the day ahead.

Here are the things currently causing me stress: [LIST STRESSORS]. For each one, categorize it as: (1) within my control, (2) partially within my control, (3) completely outside my control. For category 1 and 2, give me specific actions to reduce the stressor. For category 3, suggest a mindset or acceptance strategy.

Lead me through a comprehensive weekly review. Ask me these questions one at a time and help me reflect: What did I accomplish this week? What didn’t get done and why? What drained my energy? What gave me energy? What’s the ONE thing I should do differently next week? Then help me set my top 3 priorities for the coming week.

My #1 goal for the next 90 days is: [GOAL]. I have approximately [HOURS] per week to dedicate to this. Create a detailed 90-day sprint plan with: monthly themes, weekly targets, daily non-negotiables, key metrics to track progress, and a mid-point review checkpoint at day 45.

My business/project is [DESCRIPTION] and my goal is [OUTCOME]. Using the Theory of Constraints, identify the single bottleneck that is most limiting my progress. Explain how removing or improving just this one constraint could unlock progress across the entire system. What specifically should I do first?

Here are my current goals and priorities: [LIST]. Now look at my current activities and commitments: [LIST]. Identify 5-10 things I should STOP doing immediately because they are either low-value, misaligned with my goals, or consuming time that could go toward higher-impact work. Be direct and justify each recommendation.

I run [BUSINESS/PROJECT] and my biggest time drain right now is: [ACTIVITY]. I currently spend [HOURS] per week on it. Identify 3 high-leverage ways to reduce this time by at least 50% without sacrificing quality. For each approach, estimate the time to implement and the ongoing time saved per week.

Design my ideal work week from scratch. My roles and responsibilities are: [LIST]. My top 3 priorities are: [LIST]. My energy patterns are: [HIGH/LOW TIMES]. Create a time-blocked weekly schedule that protects deep work time, batches similar tasks, minimizes context switching, and includes strategic thinking time. Show it as a day-by-day schedule.

Here is my current productivity system: [DESCRIBE YOUR TOOLS, HABITS, AND PROCESSES]. Audit it for: (1) gaps where things fall through the cracks, (2) unnecessary complexity, (3) missing capture or review mechanisms, (4) misalignment with how I actually work. Give me 5 specific improvements ranked by impact.
