Prompt Template
Act as a strategic productivity advisor. I need to organize my upcoming week using the Eisenhower Priority Matrix.
Here are all my tasks and obligations for this week:
{{weekly_tasks}}
My key goals this quarter: {{quarterly_goals}}
My role: {{role}}
For each task:
1. Classify into the correct quadrant:
- Q1 (Urgent + Important): Do immediately
- Q2 (Not Urgent + Important): Schedule focused time
- Q3 (Urgent + Not Important): Delegate or batch
- Q4 (Not Urgent + Not Important): Eliminate or defer
2. Output a table per quadrant with columns: Task | Why This Quadrant | Recommended Action | Time Estimate
3. After classification, provide:
- A suggested day-by-day plan for Q1 and Q2 tasks
- Delegation scripts for Q3 tasks (who to ask and what to say)
- Tasks to remove entirely with justification
- Warning: tasks disguised as Q1 that are actually Q3
Tips
- Include your quarterly goals so the AI can better judge importance vs urgency
- Be honest about tasks you keep doing but probably shouldn't
- Review the Q3 delegation suggestions even if you think you can't delegate
- Run this every Sunday evening for best results
