Key takeaways

  • Prompts are faster when they include constraints.
  • Review wins and blockers before planning.
  • Keep your plan to 3 priorities max.

Weekly planning fails when it's too open-ended. These prompts add structure so your plan stays realistic.

Step-by-step: use the prompts

  1. Paste your calendar and task list.
  2. Ask the AI to summarize last week in three bullets.
  3. Use the priority prompt to pick top three goals.
  4. Ask for risks and time estimates.
  5. Export the final plan into your task tool.

Sample prompts

  • "Summarize last week in 3 wins and 3 blockers."
  • "Given these tasks and 8 hours, pick the top 3 priorities."
  • "Create a 5-day plan with buffers and review time."
