01Priority Triage
Here are my tasks for today: [list everything on your plate] Run them through the Eisenhower Matrix: - Q1: Urgent + Important → do now - Q2: Not Urgent + Important → schedule - Q3: Urgent + Not Important → delegate or timebox - Q4: Not Urgent + Not Important → eliminate For everything in Q1: give me a 5-minute startup plan so I can begin immediately. For everything else: tell me exactly what to do with it (when, how long, or why to drop it). End with: what's the single most important thing I should finish by end of day?
02Weekly Review
Help me run my weekly review. Here's what happened this week: [describe your week — wins, what got done, what didn't, anything notable] Extract: 1. The wins worth building on (and specifically what made them work) 2. The friction patterns — what slowed me down, and is it a system problem or a behavior problem? 3. Three specific changes to my system or schedule for next week 4. The single most important thing to ship next week Then ask me one question I haven't asked myself that would make next week better.
03Deep Work Session
I have [X hours] of uninterrupted time to work on [project or task]. Design the session for me: 1. How to start — the exact first action to get into flow (not "open your laptop") 2. What to do when focus drops around the 45-minute mark 3. How to handle the urge to check something unrelated 4. How to close out so I can pick this back up tomorrow with zero ramp-up time Also: what's the one output I should have at the end of this session that proves it was productive?
04Decision Frame
I need to make this decision: [describe the decision] Frame it properly: 1. What information, if I had it, would actually change my answer? (And can I get it?) 2. What's the downside if I decide wrong in each direction? 3. Is this decision reversible? If so, how costly is it to reverse? 4. What would I think of this decision in 10 years? 5. If a trusted advisor saw my reasoning, what would they push back on? Give me a recommendation. Then tell me one thing I might be rationalizing.
05Message Draft
I need to send a message to [who] about [topic].
Context they need: [what they need to know]
My goal: [what I want to happen after they read this]
Tone: [professional / direct / warm / urgent — pick one]
Write the message:
- Under 150 words
- No filler openers ("Hope this finds you well")
- One clear ask or next step at the end
Then give me a one-sentence follow-up I can send in 3 days if I don't hear back.06Brain Dump Processor
Here's my brain dump — everything in my head right now: [paste your messy notes, thoughts, half-ideas, worries, tasks] Organize this into: 1. Decisions to make (with a suggested next step for each) 2. Tasks to do, grouped by project 3. Ideas to capture for later (date these so I know when I thought of them) 4. Things I can delete, ignore, or let go of Then tell me: what's the single most important next action I should take in the next 30 minutes?
