Personal Time Management & Optimization
Analyzes how a person allocates their workweek time, identifies the biggest low-value time drain, and develops a 30-day, metric-driven plan to reduce or eliminate it.
The method
Copy, edit the placeholders, and paste these prompts into your preferred LLM. Start with prompt 1, then when you have your response, move on to prompt 2 etc.
The prompts
Track and categorize how I spend my time during a typical workweek. Based on my role as {your_role/position}, list the five most common time-consuming activities I likely engage in. For each activity, estimate the average hours spent per week and classify it as either "high-value" (directly contributes to goals) or "low-value" (routine/administrative).
Now, identify the single biggest time drain from that list and the low-value activity consuming the most hours. Propose three specific strategies to reduce, delegate, or eliminate it, ensuring each strategy includes a concrete action step and the estimated time I'd reclaim per week. Consider both technological solutions and process changes.
Choose the most realistic strategy and write a 150-word implementation plan with a 30-day timeline. Break it down week-by-week, explain what metrics I should track to measure success (such as hours saved or tasks completed), and identify one potential obstacle I might face and how to overcome it.
