Check In On a Sick or Overwhelmed Colleague
Write a brief, genuine message to [COLLEAGUE_NAME] who has been out sick or dealing with personal overwhelm. Ensure the message explicitly removes any pressure for them to respond or work, and just conveys caring support.
Communicate Team OKRs to the Department
Draft an announcement explaining the new primary OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to the [DEPARTMENT_NAME]. Use inspiring language that connects these goals to the company's broader mission, and explain how everyone's daily work directly contributes.
Build a Weekly Task Priority List
You are a productivity coach. I will give you my full task list for the week. Categorize each task using the Eisenhower Matrix (Urgent/Important quadrants), then give me a numbered daily plan for Monday to Friday. My tasks: [TASK_LIST]. My top goal this week: [WEEKLY_GOAL].
Draft a Step-by-Step SOP
I am creating a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for my team on how to execute [PROCESS_NAME]. Based on these fragmented notes of how I do it ([MY_NOTES]), write a crystal clear, step-by-step numbered plan. Include a "Prerequisites" section at the top, and a "Troubleshooting" section at the bottom for common errors.
Automate a Repetitive Formatting Task
I have a daily repetitive task where I take [DATA_FORMAT_A] and manually retype it into [DATA_FORMAT_B]. Write a simple script (Python or Google Apps Script) that automates this precise data transformation. Explain exactly where I should paste this code to run it, assuming I am a complete beginner with no coding experience.
Design a Personal Daily Planning System
You are a personal productivity coach. I want to design a daily planning system that works for my role as a [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE] with [WORK_ARRANGEMENT] (remote, office, or hybrid). My biggest time management challenge is [BIGGEST_CHALLENGE] and I currently spend too much time on [TIME_DRAIN]. Design a complete daily planning system covering: a morning planning ritual (under 10 minutes), a framework for prioritising my task list each day, how to protect deep work time, an end-of-day shutdown routine, and how to handle unexpected interruptions without derailing the plan.
Build a Weekly Review and Planning Ritual
Act as a productivity systems coach. I want to build a weekly review and planning ritual that keeps me on track across my work and personal goals. I have [TIME_AVAILABLE] available each week for this ritual. My key areas of focus are [FOCUS_AREAS]. Design a weekly review template covering: a capture and clear phase (processing all open loops), a review phase (projects, goals, and metrics), a plan phase (next week's priorities and calendar), and a reflect phase (one learning and one win). Include the exact questions to ask in each phase.
Prioritise a Overwhelming Task List Using a Framework
You are a task prioritisation coach. I have an overwhelming task list and do not know where to start. Here are all my current tasks: [TASK_LIST]. My most important goal right now is [MOST_IMPORTANT_GOAL] and my deadline pressure is [DEADLINE_CONTEXT]. Apply the Eisenhower Matrix (Urgent/Important) to sort my tasks into 4 quadrants, then give me: the top 3 tasks to do today, the tasks I should delegate or drop entirely, the tasks I should schedule for later, and a rule of thumb I can use daily to avoid this overwhelm recurring.
Design a Time-Blocked Weekly Calendar
Act as a calendar design and time management coach. I want to redesign my weekly calendar using time-blocking. My role is [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE] and my key responsibilities are [KEY_RESPONSIBILITIES]. I have [FIXED_COMMITMENTS] that cannot move and I want to protect [DESIRED_DEEP_WORK_HOURS] hours per week for deep work. Design a 5-day time-blocked calendar template that: groups similar tasks into themed blocks, protects a daily deep work window, batches meetings into specific days or times, builds in buffer time for the unexpected, and includes a shutdown routine.
Stop Procrastinating on a Specific Task or Project
You are a procrastination and behavioural productivity coach. I have been procrastinating on [TASK_OR_PROJECT] for [DURATION]. The reason I keep avoiding it is likely [MY_GUESS_AT_REASON] (e.g. fear of failure, overwhelm, perfectionism, lack of clarity). Diagnose the real cause of my procrastination and give me: a 5-minute immediate starter action to break inertia right now, a commitment device to make avoidance harder, the minimum viable version I can complete to build momentum, and a reframe that changes how I think about this task.
Build a Morning Routine That Maximises Productivity
Act as a morning routine and peak performance coach. I want to design a morning routine that sets me up for a high-productivity day. I have [TIME_AVAILABLE] before work begins and my biggest morning challenge is [MORNING_CHALLENGE] (e.g. checking phone immediately, skipping exercise, rushing). My work requires [COGNITIVE_DEMAND_LEVEL] cognitive performance. Design a morning routine covering: wake-up protocol, physical activation, mental preparation, and transition into work. Include a minimum viable version for rushed mornings and a full version for ideal days.
Manage Multiple Projects Without Dropping Balls
You are a multi-project management and productivity coach. I am currently running [NUMBER_OF_PROJECTS] projects simultaneously as a [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE]. My biggest challenge is [PROJECT_MANAGEMENT_CHALLENGE] (e.g. context switching, missing deadlines, losing track of status). Design a lightweight multi-project management system covering: a simple project dashboard I can maintain in under 10 minutes per week, a daily switching protocol that minimises context-switching cost, a weekly project review checklist, how to communicate progress across projects to stakeholders, and the one project management habit that prevents most missed deadlines.
