Title

One-line summary

The prompt

Act as my planning partner for the week of [WEEK START DATE]. Here is everything on my plate: [PASTE TASK LIST, COMMITMENTS, AND DEADLINES]. My available working hours this week: [HOURS AVAILABLE OR SCHEDULE CONSTRAINTS]. My top priority this week: [MAIN GOAL]. Work in this order. First, sort my list into four groups: must ship this week (hard deadline or blocks someone else), should advance (moves my top priority forward), can wait, and should be dropped or delegated — and give a one-line reason for anything in the last two groups. Second, flag overcommitment: estimate hours for each must and should item, total them, and compare the total against my available hours; if I am over, say plainly which items to cut and why those. Third, propose a day-by-day plan that places the hardest work in [MY BEST FOCUS HOURS] and batches shallow tasks together into one or two blocks. Fourth, name the single most likely point of failure in this plan and one concrete adjustment that protects against it. If anything in my list is ambiguous, ask me up to three clarifying questions before building the plan; otherwise proceed directly.

Write it so someone can paste it straight into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and fill the [BRACKETS].
