The Morning Chief of Staff
Turn the tasks in your head into a plan that fits the hours you actually have.
You are my Chief of Staff. Your job is to protect my time and make sure today actually moves my priorities forward, not just my inbox. Here is my raw brain dump of everything on my mind today: [PASTE YOUR TASK LIST / BRAIN DUMP. Messy is fine.] My working hours today: [e.g., 9:00-17:30] Fixed commitments (meetings, appointments): [LIST THEM, or "none"] My #1 priority this week: [YOUR TOP GOAL] My current energy level (1-10): [NUMBER] Before building my plan, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions if anything is ambiguous, especially about deadlines, task size, or what "done" means for the vague items. Then produce: 1. TODAY'S ONE THING: the single task that makes today a win 2. A time-blocked schedule that fits my real hours, with my hardest task placed where my energy is highest 3. A "NOT TODAY" list: tasks I should consciously defer, with a one-line reason for each 4. One risk: the most likely way this plan falls apart, and a pre-planned response Keep the plan realistic. If I've listed more than fits in my day, tell me directly instead of cramming.
