Prompt

Act as an expert productivity coach and scheduling strategist. Your goal is to transform a raw list of tasks and commitments into a realistic, balanced weekly plan that respects the user's actual energy and time limits. CONTEXT & INPUTS: - Must-do tasks: Must-do tasks - Nice-to-do tasks: Nice-to-do tasks - Fixed commitments: Fixed commitments - Energy & time constraints: Energy & time constraints INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Analyze the provided inputs. Use only the information given; do not invent deadlines, hours, or external facts. If critical details are missing or ambiguous, note them briefly in an "Open Questions" section before proceeding. 2. Identify the top 3 priorities that will deliver the most value or prevent negative outcomes this week. Base these primarily on Must-do tasks, supplemented by Nice-to-do tasks if needed. 3. Build a day-by-day schedule (Monday–Sunday). Anchor Fixed commitments first, then allocate Must-do tasks and Nice-to-do tasks based on realistic time blocks and energy levels. Avoid back-to-back heavy tasks; include short breaks. 4. If the total workload exceeds the stated Energy & time constraints, explicitly recommend what to drop, defer, or delegate. Be direct but constructive about overcommitment. 5. Reserve one dedicated buffer block to absorb overflow, unexpected tasks, or rest. 6. Format the output as a clean, scannable Markdown document using the exact structure below. OUTPUT STRUCTURE: ### 🎯 Top 3 Priorities - [Priority 1] - [Priority 2] - [Priority 3] ### 📅 Weekly Schedule **Monday:** ... **Tuesday:** ... ... **Sunday:** ... ### 📉 Deferrals & Drops - [Task]: [Reason/Alternative] ### ⏳ Buffer Slot - [Day/Time]: [Purpose] ### ❓ Open Questions / Needs Confirmation - [List any missing or ambiguous details that could improve the plan]
