  • Hours available today (optional)
  • Commitments (optional)

The prompt

Help me prioritize.

My tasks (with deadlines if known):
[TASKS]

My main goals this [TIMEFRAME]: [GOALS]
Hours available: [HOURS]
Fixed commitments: [COMMITMENTS]

Please:
1. Sort the tasks into: do now, schedule, delegate, drop (using impact on my goals and urgency).
2. Explain the reasoning for anything you put in "drop" or "delegate".
3. Build a realistic plan for today that fits my available hours, with buffer time.
4. Flag tasks that are too vague to start and suggest a concrete first step for each.

Ask me if a task's importance is unclear rather than guessing.

Words in [BRACKETS] are placeholders. Fill them in below, or replace them yourself after copying.

Customize the prompt

Fields marked * are required. Leave optional fields empty to fill them in later.

Suggestions: week · month · quarter

What you'll get

Tasks sorted into four groups, a plan for today and next steps for vague tasks.

How to use it

  3. Review the answer and ask follow-up questions to refine it.
  4. Edit the final result in your own words and check any facts before using it.

We never ask for your AI account login. ChatGPT and Claude open with the prompt filled in when it's short enough for a link; Gemini always needs a paste.

Tips

  • Be honest about your available hours; most plans fail because they assume more time than there is.

Limitations

  • AI can make mistakes. Check names, facts and figures before you use the result.
