1 Morning Brain Dump to Action Plan
I have these things on my mind today: [BRAIN DUMP — LIST EVERYTHING]. Help me: 1) Categorize each item (urgent/important, important/not urgent, delegate, eliminate), 2) Create a time-blocked schedule for today, 3) Identify the ONE thing that will make everything else easier. My work hours: [START]-[END].
Pro tip: The Eisenhower Matrix (urgent/important) is the fastest way to prioritize a messy list.
2 Weekly Review and Planning
Help me do a weekly review. Last week: [WHAT I ACCOMPLISHED]. What didn't get done: [INCOMPLETE ITEMS]. Upcoming deadlines: [LIST]. Energy level: [HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW]. Based on this, create a plan for next week with: 3 must-complete priorities, daily themes, and a buffer day for overflow.
Pro tip: Weekly reviews are the single highest-ROI productivity habit.
3 Goal Breakdown to Daily Tasks
I want to achieve [GOAL] by [DEADLINE]. Current progress: [WHERE I AM NOW]. Break this down into: monthly milestones, weekly targets, and today's specific next action. Make each task concrete enough that I know exactly what "done" looks like.
Pro tip: The gap between goals and action is specificity. "Write chapter 1" beats "work on book."
4 Meeting Prep in 5 Minutes
I have a meeting in 5 minutes about [TOPIC] with [WHO]. Context: [BRIEF CONTEXT]. Help me prepare: 1) 3 key points I should make, 2) 2 questions I should ask, 3) What's the ideal outcome of this meeting, 4) A one-line opening statement. Keep it concise — I need this fast.
Pro tip: 5 minutes of meeting prep saves 30 minutes of unproductive meeting time.
5 Decision Making Framework
I need to decide between: [OPTION A] and [OPTION B]. Context: [SITUATION]. What I value most: [PRIORITIES]. Timeline: [WHEN I NEED TO DECIDE]. Walk me through: 1) Pros/cons of each with weighted importance, 2) What I'd regret more in 10 years, 3) What would I advise a friend, 4) Your recommendation.
Pro tip: The "10/10/10 rule": How will I feel about this in 10 minutes, 10 months, 10 years?
6 Email Inbox Zero Strategy
I have [NUMBER] emails in my inbox. Categories of emails I typically get: [LIST TYPES]. Help me create a triage system: rules for immediate response (under 2 min), rules for scheduling, rules for delegating, and rules for deleting. Create email templates for my 3 most common responses.
Pro tip: Process email in batches 2-3 times daily, not continuously.
7 Procrastination Breaker
I've been procrastinating on [TASK] for [HOW LONG]. I think I'm avoiding it because: [REASON: too big/boring/unclear/scary]. Break it down into the smallest possible first step that takes under 5 minutes. Then give me 5 more micro-steps. Make each step so tiny it feels stupid not to do it.
Pro tip: The "2-minute rule": if the first step takes under 2 minutes, do it now. Momentum follows.
8 Time Audit and Optimization
Here's how I spent my time last week: [ROUGH BREAKDOWN BY CATEGORY]. My goals require me to spend more time on: [PRIORITY ACTIVITIES]. Identify: time wasters I should eliminate, activities I should delegate or automate, and create an ideal week template with time blocks.
Pro tip: You can't optimize what you don't measure. Track time for one week first.
9 Focus Session Structure
I need to do [DEEP WORK TASK] for [X HOURS]. Create a structured focus session: warm-up (5 min), sprints with breaks (Pomodoro-style), specific milestones for each sprint, and a cooldown/review at the end. Include what to do if I get stuck.
Pro tip: 25-minute focus sprints with 5-minute breaks work for most people. Adjust to your rhythm.
10 End-of-Day Shutdown Ritual
Create an end-of-day shutdown checklist for a [YOUR ROLE]. Include: capturing loose ends, updating task list for tomorrow, reviewing today's wins, identifying tomorrow's #1 priority, and a mental "shutdown" trigger phrase. Should take under 10 minutes.
Pro tip: A shutdown ritual prevents work from bleeding into personal time — your brain needs the boundary.
