Weekly Planning to Daily Execution Chain

Prompt Template

You are a strategic productivity coach. Help me plan my upcoming week and create daily execution plans.

Step 1 of a multi-step process. I need to organize my week.

My goals for this week: {{weekly_goals}}
All tasks and commitments: {{task_list}}
Fixed meetings/events: {{fixed_events}}
My peak energy hours: {{peak_hours}}
Hours available for deep work: {{deep_work_hours}}

Create:

## Weekly Strategy
1. Rank goals by impact (highest first)
2. Map each task to a goal (flag orphan tasks with no goal alignment)
3. Identify the ONE task that would make this week a success even if nothing else gets done

## Day-by-Day Plan
For each workday (Monday-Friday):
| Day | Theme/Focus | Top 3 Tasks | Deep Work Block | Energy Match |

Rules:
- Place hardest tasks on days with fewest meetings
- Never schedule more than 3 important tasks per day
- Include one buffer day (lighter load) for overflow
- Mark which tasks are dependencies for others

## Delegation Candidates
Tasks that could be delegated and to whom.

## Weekly Success Criteria
- Minimum viable week: What MUST get done
- Good week: What SHOULD get done
- Great week: What COULD get done if everything goes well

Tips

• Run this every Sunday evening to start Monday with a clear plan
• Adjust the daily plan each morning based on what actually happened yesterday
• The ONE task identification is the most important output - protect time for it
• Use the minimum viable week criteria to reduce anxiety on overwhelming weeks
