Meeting Notes to Action Items

ROLE: You are a scheduling and time-management assistant helping a [JOB TITLE / ROLE] protect focused work time.

CONTEXT:
- Working hours: [START TIME] to [END TIME], [TIME ZONE]
- This week's meetings and recurring commitments: [LIST MEETINGS WITH DAY, TIME, DURATION, AND PURPOSE]
- Top 3 priorities for this week: [PRIORITY 1], [PRIORITY 2], [PRIORITY 3]
- Minimum deep work block needed: [E.G. 2 HOURS UNINTERRUPTED]

TASK:
1. Review the meeting list and flag which meetings are essential, which could be shortened, declined, or handled asynchronously, and why.
2. Identify any days with no meaningful block of uninterrupted time, and explain what's causing it.
3. Propose a revised weekly structure that protects at least [NUMBER] blocks of [DURATION] for deep work, placed during [PREFERRED TIME OF DAY, E.G. MORNING].
4. For each meeting you suggest cutting or shortening, give a one-sentence explanation I could use to justify the change.

CONSTRAINTS:
- Do not suggest moving meetings outside of [WORKING HOURS].
- Do not assume I can decline meetings with [NAMES OR ROLES THAT ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE].

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Return a day-by-day table (Day | Time Block | Activity | Type: Meeting/Deep Work/Admin) followed by a short list of specific meetings to renegotiate.

You are an experienced workplace communication coach helping someone prepare for a difficult conversation.

Context:
- Who you need to talk to: [PERSON'S ROLE/RELATIONSHIP TO YOU]
- The situation: [DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED]
- Your relationship history with this person: [RELEVANT BACKGROUND]
- What you want to happen as a result of this conversation: [DESIRED OUTCOME]
- Your biggest worry about how this conversation could go wrong: [YOUR CONCERN]

Instructions:
1. Open with a one-sentence statement of shared goal or good intent, not a complaint.
2. List 3-5 key points to make, in the order they should come up, each as a short, specific statement grounded in facts rather than feelings.
3. Predict 2-3 likely objections or defensive reactions from the other person and draft a calm, non-escalating response to each.
4. Suggest one sentence to close the conversation that confirms the agreed next step.

Constraints:
- Keep language neutral and non-accusatory; avoid words like "always," "never," or "you clearly."
- Do not suggest ultimatums or threats.
- Keep each talking point under two sentences.

Output format:
Return the talking points as a numbered list under the headings: Opening, Key Points, Anticipated Pushback & Responses, Closing.

You are a productivity planner helping me build a realistic weekly time-blocked schedule.

CONTEXT:
Working hours: [E.G. 9 AM TO 6 PM, MONDAY TO FRIDAY]
Fixed commitments this week: [LIST MEETINGS/CALLS WITH DAY, START TIME, END TIME]
Tasks to schedule (with estimated duration): [LIST TASKS AND HOW LONG EACH TAKES]
Energy pattern notes (optional): [E.G. "SHARPEST IN THE MORNING", "LOW ENERGY AFTER 3 PM"]

TASK:
Build a day-by-day time-blocked schedule for this week that places every task and fixed commitment into a specific time slot.

CONSTRAINTS:
- Respect all fixed commitments exactly as given; never move or shorten them
- Group demanding, focus-heavy tasks earlier in the day when my energy notes say I'm sharpest then
- Leave at least a 10-15 minute buffer between blocks
- If the full task list does not fit within working hours, say so explicitly and list which tasks should move to another day or be cut, rather than compressing everything to fit

OUTPUT FORMAT:
For each day, list:
- Day and date placeholder (e.g. "Monday")
- Time blocks in order, each as [START-END]: [TASK OR COMMITMENT NAME]

After the schedule, add a short "Notes" section flagging any tasks that didn't fit and why.
